Adapting to aging is not easy for adults older
and requires professionals involved in
their care characterized by a very special vocation and
love to work with this group, resulting in
an attitude values as: respect for others, autonomy and compassion
to provide care humanized the elderly and that
extends to its direct
group of caregivers.
Geriatric nursing professionals
is responsible for the promotion,
maintenance and restoration of health, prevention of
illness or injury, and implementation
of activities under diagnosis and treatment.
The elderly need a cash
interdisciplinary care, which includes not only recovery but also, and most prominently, the promoting their health, individual and family growth, to achieve autonomy. It is at this general
context in which the nurse must submit your complementing
specific contribution to the science of
healing.
Finally, I can note that among the most important
objectives of geriatric nurse is the care and provide a comprehensive care
based on the needs of the patient, disease prevention, and if necessary, help
in the process of death . These functions and care will always be aimed at
improving the care process, providing them both in their homes and health
centers and in residential centers.
