"The Clinical Handbook for Gerontological Nursing is a handy, pocket-sized reference that can assist the student in the clinical setting when caring for older patients. It has been developed as a supplement to the first edition of Gerontological Nursing and is cross-referenced by chapter. It provides easy to follow information that the student can use at the bedside and the goal is to reduce to a minimum the time needed to gain information to make appropriate clinical decisions."--BOOK JACKET |
