Doody’s 4 Star! Review
“This book is a comprehensive manual for hitting the highlights of geriatric clinical care. It delves deep into the biggest clinical issues facing today's seniors and provides areas for further information and study in specific areas, should readers need it. As compared to other books of similar interest, this book goes above and beyond what nursing students today need to hear. The emphasis on wellness, not just short-term treatment, allows new nurses to understand that nursing isn't a quick fix; rather, it is a life-long journey.”— Wendy Boren, RN, BSN, (University of Missouri) for Doody’s Review ServiceAwarded first place in the 2022 AJN Book of the Year Award in Gerontologic Nursing Category
“Nursing for Wellness in Older Adults provides comprehensive coverage of gerontologic nursing. It addresses key considerations in the care of older adults, from age-related changes to theoretical
perspectives to health inequities. It is written from a wellness perspective; there is an upbeat tone to the entire book. I also like that it includes older adults across the continuum of care, not just in the hospital or long-term care settings. The case studies in this text are well-written, thorough, and interesting. The content is contemporary (for example, technology to promote wellness is discussed) and integrates current literature. The layout of the book is logical, moving from the general to specific systems. As a long-time faculty member who teaches gerontology, that is the way I have always taught, as it makes the content easier for students to understand and learn.”
