ABSTRACT
This article provides an overview and describes major health issues affecting older adults, coupled with potential education and health promotion interventions that the nurse practicing in a community setting might implement. Emphasis is placed on partnering with older adults and better equipping them to be actively involved in their own health care. Easily accessible, free screening, assessment, and educational resources are identified. By enhancing older adults’ knowledge and sharing acceptable, desirable, and realistic intervention options with them, nurses can help empower older adults to have greater confidence in their ability to manage their health.
