Gerontological Nursing & Healthy Aging provides thorough coverage of promoting healthy aging when caring for older adults. The intent throughout the book is to facilitate the healthiest adaptation possible for any older adult, regardless of the situation and disease process. The majority of the book is devoted to discussing the significant problems that may occur and methods that nurses may use to make these problems more bearable, to solve some, and to help the elder find the best possible resolution towards healthy aging.

- Disease processes are discussed in the context of healthy adaptation, nursing support & responsibilities to help the reader gain an understanding of their client's experience.
- Focus on health and wellness establishes a positive perspective to aging.
- Careful attention to age, cultural, and gender differences are integrated throughout to help the nurse understand these important considerations in caring for older adults.
- Each chapter provides a consistent organization including learning objectives, research & study questions/activities.
- Assessment guidelines are incorporated throughout as tables, boxes, and forms to provide useful tools for practice.
- Activities and discussion questions at the end of every chapter provide situations to expand student knowledge and understanding.
- Appendices and resource lists assist in further exploration of material.
