Download or read book Inpatient Geriatric Psychiatry written by Howard H. Fenn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers mental health guidelines for all medical professionals facing the emerging challenges presented by an aging population worldwide.

This approach aims to minimize instances of premature release or readmissions and to improve outcomes. Chapters cover the various issues that clinicians face when working with an older patient, including legal topics, limitations to treatment, prescription-related complications, patients struggling with substance abuse, and various behavioral concerns. Written by experts in the field, the text takes a multidisciplinary approach to deliver high-quality care as needs of the aging population evolve. Inpatient Geriatric Psychiatry is a vital resource for all clinicians working with an aging population, including geriatricians, psychiatrists, neurologists, primary care providers, hospitalists, psychologists, neuropsychologists, emergency room and geriatric nurses, social workers, and trainees.
