About this book

A comprehensive assessment of the clinical, psychological, legal, and cultural aspects of dealing with unnecessary pain in the elderly. The authors explore pharmacotherapy (nonopioids, opioids, and adjuvants), interventional strategies, the role of rehabilitation in managing pain in seniors, and the problems of pain management in long-term care. Supplementary features include continuing medical education (CME) certification, a CME posttest and evaluation to be completed and submitted for credit, and an appendix of analgesics that details starting oral doses, maximum daily oral doses, and special considerations for the elderly. 6.5 AMA/PRA category 1 CME credits with completion of included test.

Reviews

"..is a very useful and timely creation...a very useful and innovative CD-ROM. There are excellent chapters on various non-opiates and opiates with their recommended usage...an excellent book, to be read by all doctors wishing to improve their knowledge and understanding in the field and as an "eye opener." -The Royal College of Surgeons of England

"This book is comprehensive and easy to read, intended for doctors, physician's assistants, and nurse practitioners working in the field of geriatrics. The book is recommended for any medical library and would also be a useful textbook or discussion resource for students interested in geriatric medicine." -E-STREAMS

"...a unique and notable contribution to the pain and aging literature...an engaging and informative read" - Canadian Journal on Aging

"...this volume is a useful introduction to pain management in the elderly." - Can J Anesth
