Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It conveys the depth of knowledge needed
to develop the complex and sometimes delicate skills required for nursing interventions and support of older people. It takes an evidence-based
and person-centred approach to understanding and meeting older people's needs as well as problems that nurses and other practitioners
deal with every day, such as pain, immobility, breathlessness, eating and drinking. This edition has been extensively rewritten by subject
experts from nursing, social work, physiotherapy, gerontology and sociology.
