Abstract
1. Nurses responsible for teaching older persons must adjust traditional approaches to address special age-related physical and psychosocial changes. 2. In order to develop effective teaching strategies, nurses should use the nursing process as a guide for identifying key knowledge deficits, establishing realistic goals, incorporating appropriate content, and evaluating learning. 3. The teaching environment, the actual presentation, and the presenter of information all influence the older adult's ability to learn important health-related information.
