Nursing questions

1. What nutritional deficits are most common in the elderly or geriatric populations?  That is, what deficits are most likely to be of concern?  What actions or orders can the provider take to rectify these deficiencies?

2. Given the high numbers of medications that some patients may be prescribed, how can the provider help to ensure the patient understands why he or she is on every medication they are on?  That is, what actions can you take as the provider to help alleviate this concern? How would you include the patient in your polypharmacy prevention approach?
