THE DEFINITIVE REFERENCE WORKS IN GERIATRICS, NOW AVAILABLE IN A HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE FORMAT

This complete electronic version of The Merck Manual for Geriatrics includes all 1,450 pages of text plus all the figures, tables, and diagrams from the printed book.

The Merck Manual of Geriatrics is complete and current reference work designed to provide information of clinical relevance to all those involved in the care of elderly patients. A distinguished panel of over 100 authors and editorial consultants has contributed dozens of topics of immediate clinical importance, including Nutrition; Geriatric Emergencies; Home Health Care; Cardiovascular Disorders; Pulmonary Disorders; Gastrointestional Disorders; Genitourinary and Gynecological Disorders; Hematological Disorders; Infectious Disease; Psychiatric Disorders; Legal, Ethical and Social Issues; Epidemiology and Demographics; Musculoskeletal Disorders and much more.

And this powerful reference work is even easier to use in electronic form, with features that let you:

* Browse for information of interest using the multi-level contents menus.
* Search for information of interest using the powerful search tool. The TextStack is full-text searchable, so will not only find information included in the text but also in tables and in figure and diagram captions. You can also search several Keyboard Publishing TextStacks simultaneously ... to obtain truly comprehensive information on your topic.
* Mark specific passages of text or questions for quick future access. Add your own notes to important sections of the text, much like you'd make notes in the margins of a printed text.
* Copy sections of the text to your work processor, where you can edit, save, and print them... to create your own personal electronic notebooks or study sheets.
* Get help whenever you need it ... through the on-line help system included in the program.

At universities, hospitals, and doctors' offices throughout the world, MedTech software is used by physicians, nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, educators, students and residents for reference, review, and learning. The Merck Manual of Geriatrics TextStack expands this collection to include vital information in geriatric medicine and care.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Merck manual of Geriatrics, Second Edition, March 30, 2000
By 
Kathy A. Benner, RN (Rochester, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Merck Manual of Geriatrics (CD-ROM)
This resource offers an easy to locate method of researching problems in geriatrics. This field is a specialty and these patients are special. Other manuals information refer to the general adult patients, of which the geriatric patient does not always fit. For example when I looked up "weight loss" , it associated it with other geriatric problems, like dementia. It is a great resource and I know it will become a key part of my care planning for my patients. I have always trusted Merck and once more they have come up with a winner. Thank you Merck.
