This book describes 30 cases of older people with frailty presenting to acute medical services. They cover a wide range of common presentations and management issues and explore the interplay of acute illness, multimorbidity, and physical and cognitive impairments. The book focuses on medicine optimisation, shared decision-making and advance care planning using key test results and imaging studies. Management options are discussed where disease-specific guidelines may not provide the solution when treating older adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides real-world complex examples with consequent nuanced decision-making.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses case studies to address interactions of acute illnesses, polypharmacy and physical and cognitive impairments for clinicians and trainees in geriatric and general internal medicine and general practitioners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses patient-centred management – balance of risks and benefits of different options, including shared decision-making and advance care planning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56838382551414,"sku":"9781032948461","price":61.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_38968968_9c0e240c-169d-4fc9-b63c-e810f09a49b4.jpg?v=1765420198","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032948461-challenging-cases-in-geriatric-medicine","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
