摘要：

Questionnaires and screening scales Can help physicians identify physical, functional, social, and psychological problems often seen in frail elderly patients and also assess caregiver strain. Physicians should review with patients and caregivers the main findings and discuss plans for further evaluation and management, including laboratory tests, vaccinations, and advance directives.
