The Impact of Geriatric-Specific Triage Tools Among Older Adults in the Emergency Department

Abstract
Abstract
As the aging population grows, emergency department (ED) service utilization among those 65 years and older is expected to rise. In 2017, it was estimated that approximately 49 million Americans were 65 years and older. Not surprisingly, the number of ED visits by older adults is also increasing, given that this population is more likely to have multiple comorbidities. Emergency department visits by older adults pose specific challenges in risk stratification and optimizing their care based on the use of geriatric-specific triage tools. The aim of this integrative review is to appraise the impact of geriatric-specific triage tolls used in the ED and offer meaningful discussion on how to best address older adults in the ED setting. Findings from this review will help inform the efforts of clinicians, educators, researchers, and public health policy stakeholders charged in the care and advocacy for vulnerable older adults.

Lifestyle Risk Factors in Esophageal Cancer: An Integrative Review

Lim, F., Zhao, X., & Lim, F. (2020). In Critical care nursing quarterly (Vols. 43, Issue 1, pp. 86-98).
Abstract
Abstract
Esophageal cancer (EC) is a prevalent type of cancer, affecting more than 16 000 people annually in the United States. Being a high-burden disease, the comprehensive management of EC is challenging, particularly for older adults. In addition, Asian countries have some of the highest age-standardized incidence rates of EC in the world. Epidemiologic studies have revealed that cigarette and cigar smoking, alcohol drinking, obesity, being overweight, and areca chewing increase the risk of EC. This integrative review aims to elucidate the association between lifestyle factors such dietary habits, smoking, and alcohol consumption and EC among the Asian populations with Chinese, Japanese, and Taiwanese ethnicity. The synthesis of the literature found that environmental factors play an important role in the risk of EC occurrence. Although most of the risk factors showed a positive relationship in increasing the risk, studies included in this review reported inconclusive results on whether tea and coffee are risk factors. The consumption of very hot beverages and low intake of green vegetable are associated with EC. Smoking, alcohol intake, and their interaction with diets were found to be the biggest factor in the development of EC. Registered nurses can educate about esophageal thermal injury among persons who have preference for drinking burning-hot beverages and those with multiple risk factors, such as those who smoke and drink excess alcohol, as well as promoting health behaviors and serving as patient advocates.
