Description
Care of the Adult with a Chronic Illness or Disability equips nurses working in a variety of community care settings with the tools and
knowledge needed for caring for the adult patient living with a chronic or disabling condition. Nursing care is addressed within the
interdisciplinary team approach necessary for handling complex chronic conditions and the attendant physical and psychosocial issues.
In addition to interdisciplinary treatment of the immediate condition, interventions that help the patient reach rehabilitation goals
in functional and lifestyle independence are also covered as are family and caregiver concerns, ethical considerations, and end-of-life
issues.
