Part of the popular LPN Threads series, this concise text presents the theories and concepts of aging, the physiologic and psychosocial changes and problems associated with the process, and appropriate nursing interventions. With its easy-to-read, clear writing style, this text provides exactly the right depth and breadth of geriatrics content for LPN/LVNs. Clear, concise, consistent writing throughout. Nursing Process section (in appropriate chapters) provides a strong framework for the discussion of the nursing care of the elderly patient as related to specific disorders. Essential ethical and legal issues are presented as they relate to end-of-life care, restraints, and elder abuse. Clinical Situations provide individualized cases for students to study and learn from. Nursing Interventions are grouped according to health care setting to make it easier to determine the appropriateness of individual interventions for different patient populations. All-in-one Student Activities workbook is included in a perforated section at the back of the book and includes NCLEX-style multiple-choice questions as well as the new NCLEX-style questions (short-answer and fill-in-the-blank) to help students review chapter content and prepare for the NCLEX exam(answers are found in the Instructor's Resource Manual). New chapter on end-of-life care addresses essential content for both institutional and the home setting, including information on palliative and hospice care, pain management, and how belief systems affect the dying person and caregivers. Delegation, leadership, and management content is integrated throughout to address the changing role of LPN/LVNs. Delegation Considerations boxes address such topics as restraints, elder abuse, and end-of-life care as related to responsibilities of nursing assistants and other health care workers who are supervised by LPN/LVNs. Second color added to the design adds visual appeal and helps to emphasize key content. Cultural Considerations boxes help students understand how to provide culturally sensitive patient care. Complementary and Alternative Therapy boxes address popular therapies that are used in pain relief and other treatments. Patient Teaching boxes instruct and inform both elderly patients and their caregivers about health promotion, prevention, and age-specific interventions. Critical Thinking boxes pose questions designed to stimulate thought and help students develop and improve their ability to think critically.
