https://doi.org/10.37586/2686-8636-1-2021-116-118
Abstract
The prevalence of sensory deficits in older patients is high and is associated with falls, cognitive impairment, depression, functional impairment, disability, and mortality. Regularly assessing sensory systems and organizing adequate care measures is an essential task of nursing elderly patients. Nurses who are most in contact with patients can play a leading role in screening for sensory impairments and ensuring timely corrections.
