Ebersole and Hess' Gerontological Nursing & Healthy Aging, 6th Edition uses a holistic approach to describe compassionate care along a continuum of wellness.

Focus on health and wellness provides the evidence-based information and strategies needed to promote healthy aging.

Recommended competencies from the AACN and the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing are integrated throughout.

Easy-to-use information on nursing techniques and communication appears with the associated disorders, symptoms, and situations. Tips for Best Practice and Resources for Best Practice boxes provide insight into proven methods of nursing care. Discussions of nursing and interprofessional actions help students learn to enhance wellness, maintain optimal function, and prevent unnecessary disability. Coverage of age, cultural, racial, and gender differences highlights these important considerations in caring for older adults. NEW! Updates reflect the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Model. NEW!

NEW! Coverage of competencies of expanding nursing roles in the care of older adults addresses the continuum of care. NEW! Gerontological expertise is incorporated into nursing actions and complements other nursing texts (including med-surg, community health, mental health, and assessment books) used in programs without a freestanding gerontological nursing course.
