Health care providers should communicate with older persons on an adult level and avoid patronizing or speaking in a condescending manner.Terms of endearment such as "honey," "dear," "grandma," or "sweetheart" should be avoided.Facing an older patient,making sure the older person has clean glasses,and allowing time to respond facilitate communication with older patients and should be encouraged,not stopped.
