Nursing Care for The Elderly


Image Source: Chance Kissoon's Iphone

Many individuals associate nursing with the opportunity to demonstrate to others that someone cares about them. The elderly are especially vulnerable to this. Many of these patients are frequently hospitalized, and they may not always have family members nearby who can visit them. They may have no family at all in other cases. 


Everyone deserves compassion and care in their time of need, but none more so than those who have no one close to them. While nurses are often overworked, being a nurse also entails devoting some additional time to reassuring these individuals that they are not alone and that someone is thinking about them.  It might be the one bright point in their day, and it provides them with something to grasp onto.


Spirituality is one method that nurses may support their elderly patients since it is something that older people prefer to hold to more than younger ones. Some of this is likely due to the realization that their time is running out, but it is also likely due to the way these people were raised and the age gap that they have with young people. Even if a nurse is not particularly religious or does not share the elderly person's religion, there is still help that they can provide.

My grandparents taught me this ability during my early years as a child growing up in a Caribbean family, where I conceived a new field of medicine. In my article, I will make some suggestions for rational action when suffering from illnesses such as the common cold, stress, and headache. To begin, a cold is an infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract caused by a bacterial, allergic, or mixed infection. There are several remedies available for the common cold. Herbal treatments, in my opinion, are the only medicines for treating a cold. I normally recommend ginger and lemon to people who have this infection. Ginger is a great way to get out of a cold. A half-teaspoon of sugar is added after 10 gm of ginger is cut into small fragments, boiled in a cup of w...
