Geriatric Medicine Clinical Handbook 2026-2027: Frailty, Polypharmacy, Falls & Dementia Care for Internal Medicine Residents, Geriatric Fellows & Nurs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185229514)

Whether you're an Internal Medicine Resident, Geriatric Fellow, Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, Hospitalist, or a clinician caring for older adults, Geriatric Medicine Clinical Handbook 2026-2027 is designed to help you make evidence-based decisions with confidence. Instead of searching through multiple references during busy clinical shifts, this handbook brings together the essential knowledge, practical algorithms, and board-relevant concepts needed to manage the most common and challenging geriatric conditions.

Caring for older adults requires far more than treating individual diseases. Frailty, polypharmacy, falls, dementia, delirium, multimorbidity, functional decline, and complex medication decisions demand thoughtful clinical judgment. This handbook bridges the gap between guidelines and real-world practice, providing practical approaches that can be applied immediately in hospitals, clinics, long-term care settings, and board preparation.

• Assess and manage frailty using practical clinical frameworks.

• Recognize and reduce the risks of polypharmacy through evidence-based deprescribing strategies.

• Evaluate and prevent falls using comprehensive risk assessment and intervention plans.

• Differentiate and manage dementia, delirium, and depression in older adults.

• Perform a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) with confidence.

• Apply current principles of medication safety, including the Beers Criteria and deprescribing approaches.

• Manage common geriatric syndromes affecting mobility, nutrition, continence, sleep, pain, and cognition.

• Approach complex medical decision-making for patients with multiple chronic conditions.

• Improve communication regarding goals of care, advance care planning, and shared decision-making.

• Prepare efficiently for geriatric medicine and internal medicine board review examinations.

• Strengthen bedside clinical reasoning through high-yield pearls, evidence summaries, and practical management strategies.

Unlike traditional textbooks that focus heavily on theory, Geriatric Medicine Clinical Handbook 2026-2027 is built for everyday clinical practice. The content is organized for rapid access during busy rotations while remaining comprehensive enough for board review and long-term reference. Complex topics are presented in a clear, structured format that supports efficient learning and confident decision-making.

Whether you're preparing for rounds, reviewing before examinations, managing patients in primary care or the hospital, or caring for older adults in long-term care settings, this handbook delivers practical guidance that translates directly to patient care.
