| Annotation | This article provides an overview and describes major health issues affecting older Americans, coupled with potential education and health promotion interventions that the nurse practising in a community setting might implement. Emphasis is placed on partnership with older adults, and better equipping them to be actively involved in their own health care. Easily accessible, free screening, assessment tools, and educational resources are identified. By enhancing older adults' knowledge and sharing acceptable, desirable and realistic intervention options with them, nurses can help empower older adults to have greater confidence in their ability to manage their health.
