[Aged patients and chronic illness].
Nursing personnel taking care of aged patients should thoroughly recognize respect and protect these special patients' rights. The nurse should also interpret and cope with the various problems arising from both functional and psychological diseases of the elderly, being also responsible for application of specially elaborated educational programmes on long-term care of chronic illness.
