Prepare your students to provide effective, wellness-oriented nursing care for older adults in any healthcare setting with Nursing for Wellness in Older Adults, Seventh Edition . The book provides comprehensive, easy-to-understand coverage of the theory and practice of gerontological nursing, addressing both physiologic and psychosocial aspects of aging, as well as broader issues such as cultural competence and legal and ethical concerns. Organized around the author’s unique Functional Consequences Theory, the book explores age-related changes as well as the risk factors that often interfere with optimal health and functioning. Features • NEW! An online map correlates AACN/HIGH standards to pages in the text. • NEW! QSEN examples of application of knowledge, skills, and attitudes for care plans relate to unfolding case examples in the text, and an online QSEN Map shows how book content integrates QSEN concepts. • NEW! Caregiver wellness boxes show students how to educate caregivers in taking care of themselves while caring for their patients. In addition, Wellness Opportunities are sprinkled throughout the clinically oriented chapters to draw attention to ways in which nurses can promote wellness during the usual course of their care activities. • Assessment boxes provide the reader with specific approaches for nursing assessment. Commonly used assessment tools are described (and, in many cases, illustrated). • Interventions boxes provide succinct guides for nursing interventions, with a strong focus on health promotion. Guides for “best practices” in nursing interventions are given. Many of the interventions boxes can be used as tools for teaching older adults and their caregivers about how to improve functional abilities. All Interventions boxes can be downloaded from this book’s companion web page. • The author’s unique Functional Consequences Theory explores age-related changes as well as the risk factors that often interfere with optimal health and functioning. • Student perspective boxes with real life stories from nursing students demonstrate the application of topics to real world practice settings. • Diversity Notes and Cultural Considerations cover varied populations to prepare students to work effectively with patients of any culture or ethnicity. • Evidence-Based Practice boxes are included in clinically oriented chapters to summarize guidelines for research based care of older adults.
