Nurses play a vital and multifaceted role in the healthcare of elderly individuals. Their contributions extend beyond mere medical care, encompassing holistic support that addresses physical, emotional and social needs. This abstract explores the integral role of nurses in elderly healthcare, highlighting their impact on patient outcomes, caregiver support and the promotion of healthy aging. Through their expertise in assessment, care planning and patient education, nurses serve as linchpins in the provision of comprehensive geriatric care, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for elderly populations.
