Falls in Older Adults (Out of Print)

Abstract

Abstract This simulation depicts three elderly patients, each with a different diagnosis leading to falls. The first patient has a cardiac condition leading to syncope and falls, the second patient has weakness and arthritis as well as drug-induced causes, and the third patient has normal pressure hydrocephalus. Patients are a 91-year-old white male, a 79-year-old white female, and an 81-year-old white male.
