This text uses Maslow's "hierarchy of needs" as the conceptual foundation for care of the ageing client. Maslow's theory states that human beings' needs are arranged in a hierarchy: the lower ones being the need for food and shelter, and the higher ones being the need for self-esteem and "self-actualization". The basic crux of the theory is that the higher needs are not important until the lower ones are satisfied. Within this framework, the book covers common pathologic conditions and provides information about activity, nutrition, environment, lifestyle, ethnicity and culturalism. Nursing care sections offer practical intervention methods for maintaining or returning the ageing client to wellness. This edition contains a new chapter on psychotropic medication, providing the latest information about drug therapy and nursing implications. A concise geriatric assessment table is included to provide nurses with practical assessment information.

Textbook review,
By Kaye Pickard (nashville TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Toward Healthy Aging: Human Needs and Nursing Response, 7e (Toward Healthy Aging (Ebersole)) (Hardcover)
This text book has a ton of information on the elderly and the history of nursing in the gerontological field. The book is not real exciting to read, but the information that nursing students need is in there.
