A holistic approach is used to study a variety of issues that impact the biological, behavioral, and socio-cultural needs and gender considerations of the elderly. Ethical and legal issues related to care of geriatric patients are examined in the context of continuous improvement in quality and safety. Co-requisite: NUR 320 .
