FEATURES:
• Numerous tables and figures that summarize conditions, values, mechanisms, therapeutics, and more
• Thorough coverage of preventive services and disease screening
• Eight chapters devoted to general management strategies
• Important chapters on ethical issues and palliative care
• Appendix of Internet resources on geriatrics

The Eighth Edition has been completely revised to provide the most current updates on the assessment and management of geriatric care.
