摘要
The American Geriatric Society Beers Criteria (R) 2019 update provides guidance for safe and quality prescribing for older adults. Medications were added to the list and medications were deleted from the list since the update in 2015. This article uses a case study to exemplify how the Beers Criteria may be used in practice. The Beers Criteria (R) are not meant to be hard and fast rules but rather assists health care providers in recognizing potentially inappropriate medications for older adults and assessing the best prescribing practices. Nurse practitioners should consider incorporating the American Geriatric Society Beers Criteria (R) in their pharmacologic prescribing resources. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
