The evolving demographics have several implications for nursing practice:
Specialized training: Nurses need additional training in geriatrics, chronic disease management, and mental health to effectively care for these populations. Patient-centered care: Emphasizing individualized care plans that consider the patient's cultural background, preferences, and specific health needs. Telehealth adoption: As urbanization and mobility increase, telehealth services become essential to reach patients in remote or underserved areas. Workforce planning: Ensuring an adequate supply of nurses and healthcare professionals to meet the growing demand, particularly in geriatric and chronic disease care.
