appearance and the functioning of organs and systems.

profession as nurses, understand the person about their feelings and
experiences of the changes that occur in them in addition to providing the best
nursing care related to diseases that may be suffering in process of ageing and
prevent complications.
During the last years of our
lives, we suffer from more illness and find more limitations to adapt to the

life expectancy, which creates a challenge to society: to optimize health and
