Overview

Gerontological Nursing is a comprehensive, research-based guide to the nursing care of older adults. It addresses normal and pathophysiological changes of aging, as well as psychosocial, cultural and public health influences. With a focus on “adding life to years,” not just extending life, the text explores evidence and best practices that promote safe and effective assessment, diagnosis and outcomes.

The 4th Edition provides new evidence and standards affecting the care of aging populations. New Ethical Dilemma critical-thinking questions will help you respond to scenarios you may encounter in your care of older patients. With chapter-ending NCLEX®-style multiple-choice questions, you can prepare for success on sections of the NCLEX-RN® exam covering gerontological nursing.
