title: Aging: broadening our view for improved nursing care.
abstract: 1. An interplay of biopsychosocial variables affect older adults' ability to thrive, adjust to change and finish well. 2. An expanded view of aging including an eco-systemic approach facilitates an exploration of helpful geriatric nursing care strategies. 3. A helpful nursing role both nurtures and challenges in order to foster a personal sense of coherence as well as a sense of possibility. 4. "Goodness-of-fit" solutions demand that we understand the unique resources and needs of the individual, including relational strengths and liabilities, in order to provide the best mixture of family and care-giving aid.
