The fourth edition of this highly successful text is an ideal
resource for practitioners from all disciplines working in a wide
range of care settings for older people. It conveys the depth of
knowledge needed to develop the complex and sometimes delicate
skills required for nursing interventions and support of older
people. It takes an evidence-based and person-centred approach to
understanding and meeting older people's needs as well as problems
that nurses and other practitioners deal with every day, such as
pain, immobility, breathlessness, eating and drinking. This edition
has been extensively rewritten by subject experts from nursing,
social work, physiotherapy, gerontology and sociology. The 34
chapters are organised in four sections, which cover: . Ageing and
old age . Policy Change and the Contexts of Care . Nursing Older
People: independence, autonomy and self-fulfilment . Current issues
and reflections on caring for older people. Comprehensive coverage
of the theory and practice of caring for older people provides a
good basis for effective nursing care. The well-written text, clear
design and page-layout make the information highly accessible. Case
histories help relate theory to practice. Recommended reading lists
and references at the end of each chapter facilitate further study.
New chapters on major policy changes and organisation of care for
older people; sexuality and relationships in later life; and health
care for older homeless people. Additional photographs bring key
concepts to life.
