Edition Description
Revised edition,New Edition
Synopsis
Retaining its practical, clinically oriented approach, the 3rd edition covers a wide range of topics and issues necessary to deal with the older patient, in a succinct format that can be used in a variety of courses covering gerontological nursing. The book introduces the concept of "successful aging" -- the ability to maintain a low risk of disease and disease-related disability, high mental and physical function, and an active engagement in life. Successful aging, the use of the classifications of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention, and the concept of health promotion are the organizing frameworks for such pertinent topics as end-of-life and palliative care, dementia care, and new care delivery options., Chapter on assessing the older adult opens the Body Systems section, covering all normal age-related changes, including changes to lab values Section on long-term care expanded to address the advances in the field as well as growing concerns, such as homelessness Chapters on death and dying revised to focus on end-of-life and palliative care Chapter on male and female genitourinary systems includes a review of reproductive system health Addresses both traditional and nontraditional settings of nursing care, yet retains its primary focus on acute care, the setting where most nurses are likely to encounter the older patient Tables within body system chapters summarize normal aging changes to each system and their nursing implications Expanded coverage for dementias, theories of aging, and transcultural considerations in aging Care plans based on NANDA-approved diagnoses Abstracts of recent research on health problems covered, as well as patient teaching guides and resource lists, Retaining its practical, clinically oriented approach, this third edition covers a wide range of topics and issues related to the older patient. The book introduces the concept of "successful aging" - the ability to maintain a low risk of disease and disease-related disability, high mental and physical function, and an active engagement in life.
