Just my age? (continuing education credit).
Most elderly people lead independent lives. However, those who come into contact with nurses need a continuum of care, from health advice to full nursing care. Health care professionals should not make assumptions based on age and dismiss aches and pains as 'just your age'. Rather, they should assess the individual and provide care accordingly.
