What are the most common medications for the 90 yr old residents in nursing home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on DX: It depends on the diagnosis of the patient. I have a 103 year old patient in the nursing home and she only takes an occasional tylenol (acetaminophen). Often they will have something for arthritis pain, maybe for diabetes. There is no one common thing.
