Description

This convenient and easy-to-use pocket-sized reference provides gerontology nurses with the foundational knowledge they need to provide all aspects of safe, effective care to older patients. It contains crucial evidence-based information that enables nurses to differentiate between normal and abnormal findings, understand the presentation and management of common diseases of the gerontological population and integrate age-specific considerations into care planning and implementation with older adults. Pervading the resource is a holistic approach in which all facets of the individual: physical and mental health, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, self-care, family relationships and unique risks for this population, are considered. Designed for daily use, the guide is consistently organised in bullet-point Fast Facts style for easy access to information. Also included are such helpful features as ""Clinical Snapshots"" and ""Fast Facts in a Nutshell"" to reinforce content and aid in speedy information retrieval. A resources section guides nurses to additional information on each topic.
