Older individuals occupy the greatest num-
ber of hospital beds and are the greatest
consumers of health services. However,
there is still a critical lack of ready compre-
hensive information on how to meet the
special nursing needs of this group. This
Handbook is designed to meet the needs of
nurses and other professionals in acute care
and long-term care settings.
Steffl and other gerontological experts help
you understand the feelings and behaviors
of the aged as well as their physical prob-
lems. They clearly explain today s leading
biological, psychological, and sociological
theories of aging that form the basis for all
professional work in-gerontology. They
give you the understanding of the theory
and pract!ce of gerontology you need to as-
sume the nurse s roles of advocate, assessor,
and intervenor.
This practical handbook provides you with
a demographic and philosophical foundation
for assessment and intervention in health
care and sick care of older individuals. It
has comprehensive coverage of psychosocial
and physiological care and has an extensive
section on physical assessment of the elderly
and rehabilitation. Thorough coverage is
provided of sensory deprivation as well as
1he developmental tasks of the aging. Steffl
also gives you special communication tech-
niques that help you "hear" what the
patient did not say.
