title: It's not what you do - it's the way that you do it.
abstract: Never before has so much attention been paid to the assessment of the older adult. As a post-graduate student conducting research into the process of nursing assessment, I have read many hundreds of thousands of words on this subject. Having spent several years providing care for older adults, I feel heartened by the continued efforts being made to give this vulnerable and needy client group the quality care they deserve.
