Provide compassionate, professional nursing care for older adults!
Designed for LPN/LVNs, Basic Geriatric Nursing, 8th Edition offers
a practical introduction to concepts of aging and the physiologic
and psychosocial changes that affect the elderly adult. Clear
guidelines help you master basic skills such as health assessment,
nursing diagnosis, therapeutic communication, medication
administration, and nursing interventions in a variety of health
care settings. New Next Generation NCLEX (R) examination-style case
studies help you develop clinical judgment, and nursing care plans
show how to apply theory to practice. Written by experienced
nursing educator Patricia Williams, this book provides the
knowledge and skills you need to care for an aging population.
Learning features in each chapter include objectives, key terms
with phonetic pronunciations, basic concepts, and clinical
application, all connected by case examples and a relevant research
study or analysis of multiple studies. Nursing Process sections
provide a framework for nursing care of older adults as related to
specific disorders. Get Ready for the NCLEX (R) Examination!
sections include key points, additional learning resources, and
NCLEX review questions with answers and rationales on the Evolve
website. Nursing Care Plans provide real-world examples of care
plans along with critical thinking questions. Nursing interventions
are grouped by health care setting, e.g., acute care, extended
care, home care. Clinical Situation boxes highlight real-life care
scenarios. Coordinated Care boxes address leadership and management
issues for the LPN/LVN, and include topics such as restraints and
end-of-life care. Critical Thinking boxes help you develop and
improve skills in clinical judgment. Special boxes are included for
health promotion, safety, nurse alerts, patient education, cultural
considerations, home health considerations, complementary health
approaches, and more. Medication tables summarize information about
drugs commonly used in geriatric nursing. NEW! Next-Generation
NCLEX (R) examination-style case studies at the end of chapters
include new-format questions to help you prepare for the licensure
examination. NEW! Discussion of the NCSBN Clinical Judgment
Measurement Model helps you learn decision making and develop the
