With the elder population steadily growing, it's time to reassess how your department treats patients beyond age 65. Symptoms are less obvious in geriatrics, so more testing often is required. Social situation and daily life activity skills are as important as the patient's medical condition. Expand your definition of "pain" to include discomfort, anxiety, and depression.
随着老年人口稳步增长，是时候重新评估贵科室如何治疗65岁以上的患者了。老年病的症状不太明显，因此通常需要更多检查。社会状况和日常生活活动能力与患者的病情同样重要。扩大你对“疼痛”的定义，将不适、焦虑和抑郁包括在内。
