abstract: TO CARE effectively for older people, we need to combine a broad nursing knowledge base with a thorough understanding of the ageing process and the health and social care issues that can accompany it. For nurses who have an interest in caring for older people, it is important to look beyond the nursing literature for support in grasping the fundamentals of clinical gerontology. Medical texts are an extremely useful source of reference.
