The role of the registered nurse in supporting frailty in care homes.

This article explores frailty and the role of the nurse in assessing for frailty. Three aspects of patient care-nutrition status, polypharmacy and exercise and cognitive function-are discussed as areas where nurses can target their interventions in order to support those considered as frail, aiming to reduce the impact of frailty and negative health outcomes.
