Description
"Basic Geriatric Nursing" presents the theories and concepts of aging, the physiologic and psychosocial changes and problems associated with the process, and appropriate nursing interventions. The third edition includes expanded content on delegation, leadership, and management, ethical and legal issues, and a new chapter on end-of-life care. Many new features have been added, such as Cultural Awareness, Complementary and Alternative Therapies, Delegation Considerations, and Patient Teaching boxes. Critical thinking exercises provide practice in synthesizing information and applying it to nursing care of the older adult. The new LPN Threads - the similar design elements and content themes that brand the LPN list - are woven throughout.
