| Abstrakt: | The article titled "Inappropriate Prescribing to Older Patients by Nurse Practitioners and Primary Care Physicians" discusses a study on the use of medications included in the Beers Criteria for older adults. The author argues that while these medications are often considered inappropriate, they can be appropriate and beneficial for improving quality of life and independence in certain patients. The author also notes a change in semantics in a related editorial, which focuses on prescribing patterns rather than labeling prescribing as inappropriate. [Extracted from the article] |
