Praise for the First Edition: "Because of the way it is organized,
this book meets the needs of both novice and experienced advance
practice nurses. Each chapter defines the problem, how often it
occurs, and what leads to the problem. To aid in assessment, the
book includes the physical examination landmarks as well as
diagnostic tests that might be needed. A plan of care is offered
with several different alternatives for treatment and then notes
what type of follow-up is needed. This would be a great resource
for anyone working in the field of geriatrics...Score: 92 - 4
