As the fastest growing population sector worldwide, older adults
are seen in almost every care setting in which clinicians practice.
Developed as a resource for advanced practice nurses in any
setting, Case Studies in Gerontological Nursing for the Advanced
Practice Nurse presents readers with a range of both typical
and atypical cases from real clinical scenarios.
The book is organized into six units covering cases related to
ageism, common health challenges, health promotion, environments of
care, cognitive and psychological issues, and issues relating to
aging and independence. Each case follows a similar format
including the patient’s presentation, critical thinking questions,
and a thorough discussion of the case resolution through which
students and clinicians can enhance their clinical reasoning
skills.
Designed to promote geriatric clinical education through
self-assessment or classroom use, Case Studies in Gerontological
Nursing for the Advanced Practice Nurse is a key resource for
all those dedicated to improving care for older adults.
