Описание: This comprehensive graduate textbook focuses on the full spectrum of long-term care settings ranging from family and community based care through supportive housing options to a variety of institutional long-term care alternatives. Integrating theory and practice, the book features the perspectives of diverse fields regarding current long-term care options and new directions for the future. Prominent scholars from history, environmental design, family caregiving, gerontology, social service delivery, clinical care, health service delivery, public policy, finance, law, and ethics explore such themes as relationships among independence, dependence, and interdependence; ethical considerations in the provision of long-term care; decision-making in long-term care; fluidity and transitions in long-term care; the lived experience of long-term care; and a micro-macro perspective ranging from the individual to societal institutions.
Описание: Vivid case examples help to guide nurses in developing appropriate interventions that include complementary and alternative health therapies and provide a basis for evaluating outcomes. Exercises interspersed throughout each case study include numerous open-ended and multiple-choice questions to facilitate learning and critical thinking. The text is unique in that some of the presented cases focus on psychosocial issues such as gambling addiction, hoarding behaviour, emergency preparedness, and long-distance caregiving.Cases also depict geriatric clients who are living healthy, productive lives to counter myths and negative attitudes about older adults. Scenarios demonstrating ethical dilemmas prepare students to appropriately respond to "gray area" situations. The text is geared for AACN and NLN Accreditation and is organized according to the needs of actual clinical settings. With cases that take place in the home and community or within primary, acute, and long-term care facilities, this book will be useful for courses specific to gerontology nursing or across any nursing curriculum.New to the Second Edition:A completely new section of Aging Issues Affecting the FamilyNew cases addressing Healthcare Disparities, Aging in Place, and Prevention of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract InfectionAdditional contemporary case studiesAdditional video clips and animations embedded throughout the textThe addition of Quality for Safety in Nursing Education (QSEN) InitiativesA greater focus on prioritization and delegation of client's needs infused throughout exercises
