title: Principles of teaching for individual learning of older adults.
abstract: Improved self-care and functioning are the ultimate goals of work with the elderly client. An essential component of rehabilitation nursing is teaching the client how to achieve these goals. Gradual changes in function occur with age; in addition, vision, hearing, and memory deficits are inevitable in the aging adult. But individualized assessment and select approaches can overcome these barriers to learning.
