Nursing roles and competencies in emergency care - focusing on geriatric emergency care: A Scoping Review Older patients make up an increasing number of emergency admissions in Germany. Their complex needs require advanced nursing competencies. The aim of this scoping review was to identify extended nursing roles in the emergency care of geriatric patients, to describe the training or educational programs that enable nurses to fill these roles and to compare these to the task catalog of German nurses with standard three-year training.
