                             Doris R. Schwartz 
                                   Nurse 
                                      
       GWYNEDD, Pa.-- Doris R. Schwartz, a nurse whose research findings
   on geriatric nursing care led to improvements in elderly health care,
                         died Aug. 22. She was 84.
      Schwartz was a former professor at the Cornell University-New York
    Hospital School of Nursing. Her knowledge of geriatric care stemmed
              from her years as an Army nurse in World War II.
      She initiated research by the University of Pennsylvania School of
     Nursing into the use of physical restraints on patients in nursing
   homes and hospitals. Her work led to changes in restraint procedures.
        Schwartz also has written an autobiography, ''My Fifty Years in
   Nursing: Give Us to Go Blithely'' and had been working on a book about
               the 55 people who most influenced her careers.
        Schwartz also was a member of the Institute of Medicine at the
     National Academy of Science and co-director of two groundbreaking
   programs to train geriatric and family nurse practitioners at Cornell
     University-New York Hospital. There, she taught staff members and
                worked with victims of strokes and dementia.
