OLDER ADULT NURSING CARE equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to provide competent, compassionate care for the nation's older adults. It first provides an overview of issues related to the older adult, from financial concerns and age discrimination to sleep, safety, pharmacology, pain management, and end-of-life issues. Next, it delves more specifically into the unique physiological and psychological changes and challenges many older adults face. Each body system is covered separately, and related mental health issues (including cognitive changes and developmental disabilities) are addressed in depth. Throughout, the text emphasizes health promotion and education: positive steps that nurses can take to help older adults live a healthier and more productive life. The author also provides tools and resources readers can use when they assume leadership and management roles, and stresses the importance of continued professional development.
