What is the functional consequences theory for older adults? A guide for wellness.

Developed by Dr. Carol A. Miller in 1990, the functional consequences theory for older adults is a nursing framework that addresses the unique relationship between age-related changes, risk factors, and functional abilities. This theory provides a holistic approach to care, emphasizing the promotion of wellness and the attainment of the highest possible level of function for older individuals, despite the presence of challenges associated with aging.
