Designated a Doody's Core Title
"Caring for the older adult population is a challenge and the
goal of nursing practice is to help preserve or restore an older
adult's function and maximize their well-being and quality of life.
This book is a wonderful resource for assisted living clinicians
and nurses who wish to serve this population. It is well written,
easy to read, and well organized so it can be used as a textbook
for nursing students in geriatric nursing." Score: 94, 4 stars
--"Doody's"
"This book, written by and for nurses across the spectrum of
nurse providers (advanced practice nurses, delegating nurses, and
the direct care workforce), covers all aspects of management as
well as the many common clinical problems and syndromes we
encounter among older adults. Further, this book proposes wonderful
assessment and intervention material that will help the entire
health care team keep residents within their AL communities through
early recognition and management of acute illnesses. Kudos to our
nursing colleagues for editing this publication and may it serve as
the useful guide for AL residents across the country."
