The most important alterations of the old age are mentioned. They have a great influence on the behaviour of the elderly in a hospital. Charactersitic behaviour patterns at admission, during hospitalization and at dismission are pointed out. Multimorbidity should not cause a thoughtless and highly technical work-up. Rehabilitation measures in order to keep the patient in bed as short as possible are important. For this reason the nursing staff should have a good knowledge of activating care. Pharmacogherapy, intensive care, preoperative and postoperative care are mentioned.
文中提到了老年期最重要的变化。它们对老年人在医院的行为有很大影响。指出了入院时、住院期间和出院时的特征性行为模式。多种疾病并存不应导致轻率和高度技术化的检查。采取康复措施以使患者卧床时间尽可能短很重要。因此，护理人员应充分了解积极护理。文中还提到了药物治疗、重症监护、术前和术后护理。
