Evaluation of older adults usually differs from a standard medical evaluation. For older patients, especially those who are very old or frail, history-taking and physical examination may have to be done at different times, and physical examination may require 2 sessions because patients become fatigued. Older adults also have different, often more complicated health care problems, such as multiple disorders, which may require use of many drugs sometimes called polypharmacy and thus greater likelihood of a high-risk drug being prescribed see table Potentially Inappropriate Drugs in Older Adults.
