Abstract:	With a strong focus on health and wellness, this gerontological nursing text offers you a holistic perspective to caring for older adults. Designed to facilitate the healthiest adaptation possible, this text identifies potential problems that may occur and the means to address complications, alleviate discomfort, and help older adults lead healthy lives. Disease processes are discussed in the context of healthy adaptation, nursing support, and nursing responsibilities to help you gain an understanding of your clients' experience. Careful attention to age, cultural, and gender differences are integrated throughout to help you understand these important considerations when caring for older adults. Consistent chapter organization includes learning objectives, research, and study questions/activities to make information easy to find and use. Evidence-Based Practice boxes summarize research findings that confirm effective practices or identify practices with unknown, ineffective, or harmful effects. Genetics section reflects the emergence of the role of genetics in gerontological assessment.
