Older adults are the fastest growing segment of our population and will require nurses and other health practitioners who are trained in their special needs. Here in this full color and highly illustrated text the reader will find a holistic approach to nursing care for the older population that addresses the physical, psychological, social and economic influences on the older adults health. A strong foundation on the normal aging process leads to sections on promoting health and wellness among the elderly. Specialist practitioners discuss the most common health care problems of the elderly and their related nursing care. The reader will also learn the latest thinking on current topics such as the financial, legal, and ethical issues that older patients and their families face, the importance of becoming an advocate for excellent elderly care, and meeting the special needs of diverse ethnic and cultural groups.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive, up to date,
By Shannon Dee "nursebeanpole" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gerontology: Nursing Care of the Older Adult (Hardcover)
This textbook is current and discusses nearly all issues facing older adults. The layout is easy to follow and many diagrams are included in each chapter. The authors offer information relative to today's geriatric nurse. Information is well organized and the typical redundancy or prolonged discussions is avoided. (Isn't it frustrating when authors belabor certain points, using many sentences to say the same thing?). Current research studies are included to encourage evidence-based practice. Political leanings of the authors are not readily evident.
