Frequently Asked Questions
What is different about a geriatric history?
Function is the outcome that matters, so cover activities of daily living, mobility aids, home setup, and who helps. A full medication reconciliation including over-the-counter drugs, plus collateral history, is usually explicitly on the mark scheme.
How should I assess a fall?
Take the fall apart in three parts: before (dizziness, palpitations, warning), during (loss of consciousness, witnesses, injury), and after (could they get up, how long were they down). Then review medications, vision, footwear, and home hazards.
