Description and Table of Contents

Description

Revised and updated, this third edition describes the unique aspects of nursing care of the elderly. It examines the normal ageing process and shows how afflictions can alter it. Special concerns include drug interactions and activities of daily living. Restorative nursing for patients with musculoskeletal diseases, cancer, and disorders of the circulatory-respiratory and nervous system is discussed, as are the issues of death and dying. This book should be useful for students in gerontological nursing and other nursing specialities.
