A New Look at the Old

This continuing education activity is a collection of six recent articles published in the American Journal of Nursing . It represents the best writing on healthcare problems facing older individuals, the challenges nurses face, and how nurses, in collaboration with other health professionals, must respond to these challenges. Noted experts examine the unique presentation of illness in older adults and discuss three common problems: incontinence, malnutrition, and cognitive impairment.

Accompanying each article is a continuing education post-test, which offers contact hours. A total of 15 contact hours can be earned by submitting all tests. The cost of processing and awarding the contact hours is included in the purchase price.
