Geriatric Syndromes
Chapter 14 of Ferraro and Wilmoth (2013
Describe a specific chronic disease that affects older adults. What are its causes, what is its typical course, and what factors in disease management affect its outcomes? What are its psychosocial consequences and how can older adults use psychosocial resources to cope? As a social worker, how would you use core social work functions and skills to support disease management and mitigate impact on the older adult, their family and their community as you work within an interdisciplinary team? Be sure to go beyond popular websites and use peer-reviewed journals as part of your references.
