When an older patient presents with frailty, multimorbidity, and a long medication list, how do you turn complexity into a safe, individualized plan?
This comprehensive full color clinical reference gives you an integrated approach to the biological, functional, cognitive, pharmacological, and social dimensions that shape later-life health. Across 29 clinical chapters and three practical appendices, you move from the biology of aging and comprehensive geriatric assessment to common syndromes, organ-system conditions, rehabilitation, care transitions, palliative practice, and medical ethics. By connecting evidence with patient goals, function, and quality of life, the text helps you reason beyond single-disease protocols when multimorbidity and polypharmacy change the balance of benefit and harm. You gain practical guidance for differential diagnosis, prevention, treatment selection, monitoring, interdisciplinary coordination, and shared decision-making, with special attention to how physiological reserve, cognition, social context, and personal priorities reshape everyday clinical choices with greater confidence.
- Master multidomain evaluation using functional, cognitive, psychological, social, environmental, and nutritional findings so you can translate a complex presentation into a coordinated plan.
- Recognize falls, delirium, dementia, sarcopenia, incontinence, pressure injuries, and other syndromes earlier, then choose targeted prevention and treatment strategies.
- Apply safer prescribing principles through age-related pharmacology, medication review, validated screening criteria, and structured deprescribing frameworks.
- Individualize decisions for cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, renal, respiratory, musculoskeletal, oncological, and infectious conditions when function and comorbidity alter risk.
- Build recovery and continuity plans through perioperative evaluation, rehabilitation, discharge preparation, medication reconciliation, community support, and technology-enabled follow-up.
- Navigate goals of care, symptom control, advance care planning, capacity, resuscitation decisions, cultural considerations, and ethical dilemmas with greater clarity.
- Strengthen bedside efficiency with validated instruments and quick-reference appendices that help you select screening tools, review prescribing risk, and compare major syndromes.
