title: Elder abuse by nurses is on the increase.
abstract: In response to Nolan's editorial (Vol 32(12): 595) on the implications of the UKCC's (1994) recent report on standards of care in nursing homes, I would like to suggest that the major challenge for nursing today is the nursing care of old people, whatever the setting.
