Abstract
This article reports the results of an analysis of interprofessional agreements between nurses and social workers when rating older patients on their physical self-maintenance abilities, mental statuses, and dispositions to social interaction with other residents of a home for the aged. The findings showed statistically significant intercorrelations of ratings of physical self-maintenance abilities and mental statuses, but no agreement on disposition to interaction. These findings are interpreted for their implications for research and practices of nurses and social-workers on geriatric health care teams.
