Gerontology Nursing Case Studies, Second Edition: 100+ Narratives for Learning

This highly praised text for nursing students, now in its second edition, presents nearly 110 interactive geriatric health case studies depicting a vast range of realistic scenarios—physical, mental, and psychosocial--that may present to nurses who work with aging adults. With exercises that reinforce learning, each case study reflects a holistic approach, encompassing mind, body, and spirit, to the presented problem. The second edition features several new cases and thoroughly updated cases from the first edition that include new health guidelines, new health promotion criteria, web links, references, and additional resources. Also provided are additional video clips and animations embedded throughout the text, Quality for Safety in Nursing Education (QSEN) Initiatives, a greater focus on prioritization and delegation, new cases covering Healthcare Disparities, Aging in Place, and Prevention of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection, and a completely new section about Aging Issues Affecting the Family.
