Care for your elderly patients with compassion, competence, and sound nursing skill. Delmar's Geriatric Nursing Care Plans, Third Edition, provides detailed information for nurses caring for the aging population. The increasing number of geriatric patients and the varying areas of care delivery (home, hospital, long-term care facility, retirement community, and outpatient clinics) mean that highly skilled and competent nursing care is a must. All the information needed to develop specific and effective nursing care plans for the most commonly-seen disorders is included in this user-friendly resource. Care plans solicit specific patient data and prompt the user to customize the interventions and evaluate the patient's individual responses to care provided.
