Our gerontological nursing resources foster a “whole person” perspective on gerontology to broaden students’ understanding and prepare them for the changing care needs they’ll encounter throughout their nursing careers.
Awarded first place in the 2022 AJN Book of the Year Award in Gerontologic Nursing Category.
Evidence-based, well-balanced with wellness promotion and with a framework focused on what matters. The coverage of health inequity, health literacy, and social determinants of health prepares students to work proactively with older adults to promote high levels of functioning and quality of life, despite limitations that may accompany aging, disease, and related conditions.
“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.”
