Geriatric Syndromes may have multiple causes and affect multiple systems. Access the website below. Listen to the audio file and/or written case study regarding Maria Diaz. Choose one geriatric syndrome (refer to Geriatric Syndrome mini-lecture in Moodle classroom) that Maria describes:

  1. Does she exhibit common aging changes we discussed in N380 from chapter 5 in your text? If so, please identify.
  2. What are her co-morbidities?
  3. Which of the geriatric syndromes does she describe which could be related to her care and why?
  4. Provide nursing interventions that could be implemented to help Maria related to the geriatric syndrome you identified.
