TL;DR
Differences were observed in the type and dose of nursing care delivered across geriatric conditions, which better explain the treatment fidelity and suggest that there is room for improvement that may result in more beneficial patient outcomes.
Abstract
All intervention components were delivered; however, differences were observed in the type and dose of nursing care delivered across geriatric conditions. The findings better explain the treatment fidelity and suggest that there is room for improvement that may result in more beneficial patient outcomes.
