This book describes 30 cases of older people with frailty presenting to acute medical services. They cover a wide range of common presentations and management issues and explore the interplay of acute illness, multimorbidity, and physical and cognitive impairments. The book focuses on medicine optimisation, shared decision-making and advance care planning using key test results and imaging studies. Management options are discussed where disease-specific guidelines may not provide the solution when treating older adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides real-world complex examples with consequent nuanced decision-making.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses case studies to address interactions of acute illnesses, polypharmacy and physical and cognitive impairments for clinicians and trainees in geriatric and general internal medicine and general practitioners.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses patient-centred management - balance of risks and benefits of different options, including shared decision-making and advance care planning.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46436350066839,"sku":"9781032948461","price":4496.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032948461.webp?v=1769307175","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/challenging-cases-in-geriatric-medicine-9781032948461","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
