A holistic guide to nursing care for older adults, across settings

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 practice opportunities help students respond to complex patient-care scenarios and prepare for success on the NCLEX-RN^® exam.
