Der Leitfaden Geriatrie Medizin bringt das medizinische Wissen auf den Punkt, das bei der Diagnosefindung und Therapie eines alten Menschen von Bedeutung ist und ermöglicht durch die Informationen aus anderen Berufsgruppen eine reibungslosere Behandlung und Versorgung. Vom notwendigen Hintergrundwissen über die Top-15 der akutgeriatrischen Fälle wie Schlaganfall, Exazerbierte COPD, Herzinsuffizienz, Depression u.s.w. bis zu häufigen Krankheiten und Symptomen, nach Organsystemen, bleibt keine Frage offen. Ausgerichtet auf den Praxisalltag, erhalten Sie genau das Wissen, das Sie brauchen, um geriatrische Patienten bestmöglich zu behandeln. Dabei spielt auch die Zusammenarbeit mit Pflegefachpersonen und Physiotherapeuten eine entscheidende Rolle. In „interprofessionellen Kästen", den sog. Blickpunkt-Kästen, erfahren Sie Wichtiges aus Sicht der Pflege/Physiotherapie. Dies unterstützt das vernetze Denken und Handeln. Das Ziel: das Handeln der anderen Berufsgruppen zu verstehen, sich abzustimmen, auszutauschen und zusammenzuarbeiten. Das titelübergreifende Grundkonzept und die interprofessionell arbeitenden Herausgeber garantieren einheitliche Inhalte. Gleichzeitig sorgen ausgewiesene Fachleute als Autoren für höchste fachliche Ansprüche im jeweiligen Bereich. Außerdem erhältlich: Leitfaden Geriatrie Pflege und Leitfaden Geriatrie Physiotherapie.
