Abstract

When treating the acute and chronic diseases of nursing home residents, the family physician must consider the patient's decreased ability to make decisions and shortened life expectancy in each case. Nurses tend the elderly people, help them wherever it is necessary, have time to listen to the hardships and worries of their charges and are an irreplaceable help to the family physician for observing patients and assessing the measures taken based on these observations.
