Praise for previous editions: "The evidence-based protocols are designed as a primary reference and are useful, substantive, and timely....The broader contributions of useful format and succinct review of the evidence make it likely that this text will continue to be the leading resource in nursing education and practice." --The Gerontologist "As a gerontological clinical educator/research nurse, I will often use this as a reference. The format and the content are good, and the explanations of how to best use the evidence simplify the process of sifting through mountains of information to figure the best practice." Score: 97 --Doodys The result of a collaboration between expert practitioners and educators in geriatric nursing, the seventh edition of this acclaimed reference has been updated and revised with new information on chronic conditions and emerging models of care presented in 10 completely new chapters. It provides the most current, evidence-based protocols for improving both quality of care and patient outcomes when caring for older adults in multiple disciplines and settings. As in past editions, the seventh edition is distinguished by its use of a rigorous systematic method (AGREE: Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation) to improve the validity of the book's evidence-based content. Chapters provide assessment and management principles, clinical interventions, and information on specialty practice and models of care. Included in most chapters are protocols developed for each clinical condition by experts in that specific area. Evidence is current and derived from all settings of care, including community, primary, acute, and long-term care. Protocols include an overview and evidence-based assessment and intervention strategies. Illustrative case studies with discussion are presented in most chapters, along with chapter objectives and references with evidence ratings. Instructor's resources include an AACN Mapping Grid, Course Cartridge, Transition Guide, PowerPoints, and Test Bank.
