Gerontological nursing

Gerontological nursing is a type of nursing that focuses on caring for older adults. It can include helping elderly people with activities of daily living such as bathing, eating, and getting dressed. Other areas of gerontological nursing may include caring for those who have chronic diseases or dealing with the aging process, such as memory loss and mobility issues. Gerontological nurses may also help to educate both patients and their families about topics like nutrition, preventive care, and end-of-life support.
