title: A comparison of nursing implications for elder care in Sweden and the United States.
abstract: The number of elderly are increasing at a rapid rate in both Sweden and the United States. Despite differences in governance, size, and health care systems, the two countries share similar problems and, perhaps, similar responses to care of aging persons. International educational exchange of successful interventions can promote better delivery of nursing care in both countries.
