YOUNG ADULTS, MIDDLE-AGED ADULTS, OLDER ADULTS, ELDERS (Age Specific Care Series)
Adulthood is the longest period of a person’s lifespan, realistically extending 60 or more years from age 20. However, it should be obvious that the care needs of a 25-year-old will be significantly different from the needs of a 65-year-old. This program, the third of a three-part series on age-specific care, provides nurses and other healthcare professionals with information and guidance about the age-specific care of adults at different stages of adulthood.
Objectives:
After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
*Explain cultural and language differences that exist among patient populations
*Describe age-specific care, nursing considerations and safety measures for young adults (20 to 40 years), middle-age adults (41 to 65 years), older adults (66 to 80 years), and elder adults (age 81 and more)
The three programs in the AGE-SPECIFIC CARE SERIES are:
PRESCHOOLERS, SCHOOL-AGERS, TWEENS AND ADOLESCENTS
NEONATES, INFANTS AND TODDLERS
YOUNG ADULTS, MIDDLE-AGED ADULTS, OLDER ADULTS, ELDERS
