Infos

Evidence Informed Nursing with Older People is an essential
text for nursing students and registered nurses working with older
people who are seeking to make connections between theory, evidence
and value based gerontological practice. The rapidly rising aging
global population requires that more attention is given
to the needs and requirements of older people. This textbook
is a key resource for nursing students and registered nurses
working with older people who wish to improve their practice.

Evidence Informed Nursing with Older People takes a
unique case-study approach, with individual chapters presenting
nursing practice-based case studies on some of the most common
areas of care faced by nurses working around the world with older
people. Each case study illustrates the connections between
practice, theory, evidence and values. User-friendly and
accessible, this textbook includes key points, reflection
activities, test points, and perspectives from older people
throughout.

Key features

* An up-to-date treatment of the nursing contribution to key
geriatric syndromes

* International expert contributions from the UK, Sweden,
Switzerland, Australia and China

* An evidence-based, case-study approach to the care of older
people
