Description
Gerontological Nursing: Concepts and Practice, 9th Edition provides nursing students with a comprehensive, evidence-based introduction to the care of older adults. Designed with a strong focus on practical nursing knowledge and clinical reasoning, this edition explores the aging process, healthy aging, common health conditions, and the unique ways diseases may present and be managed in older patients.
The ninth edition maintains a holistic approach to gerontological nursing, addressing not only physical health but also the psychosocial, legal, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of caring for an increasingly diverse older-adult population.
Students can strengthen their understanding through practical learning features such as Concept Mastery Alerts, Nursing Diagnosis Highlights, Nursing Care Plans, Assessment Guides, Critical Thinking Exercises, and real-world case-based activities. These tools connect theoretical concepts with situations nurses may encounter in clinical practice.
The book also supports the development of effective assessment, care planning, communication, and clinical reasoning skills. Digital learning resources associated with the text include PrepU adaptive quizzing, DocuCare educational EHR software, and vSim virtual simulations, providing additional opportunities for students to practice and apply nursing concepts.
Whether you are studying gerontological nursing, preparing for clinical practice, or reviewing the care of older adults, this 9th edition nursing textbook offers practical guidance for understanding the complex needs of aging patients.
