Age can significantly affect how patients respond to treatments, medications, and care protocols. For example, elderly patients may require different dosages of medications due to slower metabolism and kidney function. Similarly, children may need age-appropriate communication and care techniques.
Gender also plays a role in nursing care. For instance, men and women may experience different symptoms for the same condition, such as in the case of heart attacks. Understanding these gender-specific differences can lead to more accurate diagnoses and better treatment plans.
