Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The new edition of Gerontological Nursing changes the focus of materials from a nurse-centered approach, to a focus on elder-centered care, which highlights how to promote the type of high-quality life that older adults desire and need. In color for the first time, Gerontological Nursing includes such features as: Key Concept Boxes, Points to Ponder Boxes, Critical Thinking Exercises, and Sample Care Plans.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
