Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This comprehensive textbook addresses nursing care of the older person. As the elderly population grows, the number of nurses and other health care workers needed to look after them likewise increases. Throughout the text current trends in nursing practice are stressed, such as the increasing reluctance to keep older patients in the hospital, and the growing trend towards a team or multidisciplinary approach.
