Encourage students to view gerontological nursing with a wellness-centered, proactive lens to older adult care. Nursing for Wellness in Older Adults, 10th Edition, is known for Carol Miller’s evidence-based Functional Consequences Theory. This unique framework promotes maximizing function, wellness, and quality of life in older adults, despite the limitations that may accompany aging and disease. It shifts the focus from managing illness to proactively enhancing well-being. This edition ensures your curriculum remains current and relevant with a strong emphasis on person-centered care that is respectful of cultural differences, preparing students to meet the diverse needs of today's aging population with compassion and competence.
To ensure your students are practice-ready, this text provides unique opportunities to develop essential clinical judgment skills. It features multipart and transitional care unfolding case studies that immerse learners in realistic scenarios, mirroring the complexities of real-world nursing. Students apply theoretical knowledge to complex patient situations that evolve over time and across different care settings. By integrating these practical applications with its core focus on wellness and culturally sensitive care, the 10th edition fully equips students to confidently address the challenges of caring for our aging population and makes, a meaningful impact on the lives of older adults.
