Geriatric is sub-specialty of internal medicine and family medicine that focuses on health care of elderly people. It aims to promote health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities in older adults.
It should be confused with gerontology because it just study the process of aging in general.
Geriatricians distinguish between diseases and the effects of normal aging.
The medicine in older adults must be different from young adults because the elderly have a atipic symtoms, less recuperation ability, polypharmacy and a lot of pathologies together.

Nurses who work in the field of geriatrics
are a high-demand practice area, because older people are more likely to
require health services. Half of all hospital admissions are for patients over
age 65.
In addition, geriatric nursing is a
fast-growing career, because people are living longer.
Geriatric nurses are educated to understand and
treat the often complex physical and mental health needs of older people. They
try to help their patients protect their health and cope with changes in their
mental and physical abilities, so older people can stay independent and active
as long as possible.
A geriatric nurse will:
· Assess
the patient’s mental status and cognitive (thinking) skills
· Understand
patient’s acute and chronic health issues
· Discuss
common health concerns, such as falls, incontinence, changing sleep patterns
and sexual issues
· Organize medications
· Educate
the patient about personal safety and disease prevention
· Explain
and recommend adjustments to the patient’s medication regimen to ensure
adherence
·Link
the patient with local resources as needed
Many older people have health conditions that
do not require hospitalization, but must be treated with medication, changes in
diet, use of special equipment (such as a blood sugar monitor or walker), daily
exercises or other adaptations.
Geriatric nurses help design and explain these
healthcare regimens to patients and their families. They can link families with community resources to help
them care for elderly members
