摘要:

&NA;As part of our yearlong celebration ofThe Nurse Practitionerjournal's 25th anniversary, this month we bring you the wisdom of the pioneers. We asked 25 of the profession's “leading lights”—early and ongoing role models and NPs whose dedication to their patients, students, and communities still serve as inspiration—to tell us the best advice they received or the best advice they could pass on.Individually and collectively, these leaders of the profession provide a blueprint for effective practice. I hope you find their words as valuable as I do.

摘要:

AbstractSleep disturbances afflict more than 50% of adults age 65 and older. Sleep apnea and periodic limb movements of sleep are the primary sleep disorders in the elderly. Patient assessment tools, a thorough physical examination, and appropriate tests can simplify the diagnostic process; sleep center referral is not always warranted. Ultimately, accurate sleep disorder diagnoses can result in decreased geriatric morbidity and mortality, and increased patient quality of life.
