What should you do when you determine the presence of a Geriatric Syndrome?

Assignment Question

Comment briefly on these two scenarios: Wearing your patient hat, think about Geriatric Syndromes. What might be your thoughts if you began to experience frequent falls, incontinence, sleep deprivation, or confusion? Wearing your nursing hat, do you regularly assess for these syndromes?

What should you do when you determine the presence of a Geriatric Syndrome? Give evidence-based responses. Wearing your patient hat for the last time, you know there are changes you can and should implement that will help you with self-management of your chronic disease. You are being somewhat resistant to making those changes. Now put on your nursing hat. You are facing a resistant, non-compliant patient.

What feelings do you have about this situation? What evidence-based “tools” are available for you to use to motivate a person to make difficult changes? Can technology help? Give examples.
