Product Description:
This outstanding text provides comprehensive coverage of health promotion and basic and complex gerontologic concepts and issues, as well as the most common medical-surgical problems associated with the older adult. It follows a logical body systems organization and provides streamlined, "need to know" coverage of essential wellness and disorders information.

  • Detailed discussions of fundamental aging theories provide a basis for biological and psychosocial aspects of quality nursing care.
  • Comprehensive assessment guidelines identify what are normal, deviations from normal, and abnormal findings for older adults.
  • Detailed coverage of pain, infection, cancer, chronic illness, loss, death and dying, and substance abuse clearly explains these complex aspects of aging and their related nursing care.
  • A separate chapter on Cultural Influences, as well as integrated Cultural Awareness boxes, focus on important cultural issues to consider when caring for aging patients.


  • Streamlined content provides essential "need to know" information for promoting wellness and treating common conditions in older adults.
  • A new chapter on Loss and End-Of-Life Issues focuses on key considerations in caring for the dying client and their family.
  • Research boxes throughout emphasize the importance of applying research to practice.
  • Nutritional Considerations boxes emphasize the importance of proper nutrition in care management.
  • Greater integration of health promotion and disease prevention throughout with the addition of Health Promotion boxes.
  • Includes the management of conditions affecting multiple body systems where appropriate.
  • Updated Nursing Care Plans link NANDA nursing diagnoses, NIC priority interventions for specific conditions, and NOC suggested outcomes to guide in providing appropriate care.
  • Includes natural, alternative, and complementary therapies within care management discussions.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good reference for use with nursing the elderly
I found this book to be very useful in the sense that it covers alot of things one would not really think of when caring for the elderly. I think this book would be VERY helpful for the home health care person that cares for the elderly, or a family member of an elder.
