Doody’s 4 Star Review
“This book is a comprehensive manual for hitting the highlights of geriatric clinical care. It delves deep into the biggest clinical issues facing today's seniors and provides areas for further information and study in specific areas, should readers need it. As compared to other books of similar interest, this book goes above and beyond what nursing students today need to hear. The emphasis on wellness, not just short-term treatment, allows new nurses to understand that nursing isn't a quick fix; rather, it is a life-long journey.”
