Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Here is the first geriatric nursing book to incorporate standardized nursing diagnoses (NANDA), nursing sensitive out-comes (NOC), and nursing interventions (NIC) systems that are rapidly becoming universal standards. Readers will learn why the use and documentation of nurse's decisions and actions using these standardized languages is essential in the development of evidence-based practice, and to influence health policy decisions affecting older adults.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
