This is the third edition of the book formerly entitled "Geriatric Nursing Protocols for Best Practice". The original project grew from the efforts of these authors and editors, national leaders in geriatric nursing, and the John A. Hartford Foundation Institute for Geriatric Nursing, to improve the quality, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of health care for the elderly in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and the community. These efforts include influencing both the skills of individual nurses and the quality of the systems in which they are educated and work.This focus on improving geriatric care is driven by the growth in the over-65 population and its impact on the health care system. For example: older adults constitute 12 per cent of the US population and 50 per cent of hospital expenditures, 80 per cent of home care visits, and 90 per cent of nursing home care; older adults are 60 per cent of medical-surgical patients, 46 per cent of critical care patients, and represent 50 per cent of ICU days; and, 60 per cent of visits to cardiologists and 63 per cent of visits to oncologists are made by patients 65 and over.Despite these statistics, too few nurses - or physicians and other health care professionals - are prepared to give comprehensive care to these patients. In this book, each chapter addresses a clinical problem, syndrome, or disease that older adults commonly experience and a distillation of what constitutes "best practice" for that problem, or protocols.The third edition will include 17 revised and updated chapters from the current edition and 15 to 20 new topics including critical care, diabetes, hydration, oral health care, palliative care, and substance abuse. A uniform process will be used to ensure that the information is evidence-based. Each chapter includes educational objectives, assessment of the problem, nursing intervention or care strategies, and references; most chapters have case studies.

From the Back Cover

Designated a Doody's Core Title!

""As a gerontological clinical educator/research nurse, I will often use this as a reference. The format and the content are good, and the explanations of how to best use the evidence simplify the process of sifting through mountains of information to figure the best practice."" Score: 97, 5 stars

--Doody's

""This third edition holds the promise of bringing yet another level of depth and sophistication to understanding the best practices for assessment, interventions, and anticipated outcomes in our care of older adults?. Evidence-Based Geriatric Nursing Protocols for Best Practice is intended to bring the most current, evidence-based protocols known to experts in geriatric nursing to the audience of students, both graduate and undergraduate, practitioners at the staff level from novice to expert, clinicians in specialty roles (educators, care managers, and advanced practice nurses), and nursing leaders of all levels?.We owe a debt of gratitude to the many authors and the editors for bringing this work to us.""--from the preface by Susan Bowar-Ferres, PhD, RN, CNAA-BC, Senior Vice President & Chief Nursing Officer, New York University Hospitals Center

""The greatest beneficiaries of these new practice protocols, however, will be the older adults and their family members who stand to benefit from the greater consistency in care and improved outcomes from care based on the best evidence that is tempered with the expertise of advanced clinician-scholars.""--from the foreword by Eleanor S. McConnell, RN, PhD, APRN, BC, Associate Professor and Director, Gerontological Nursing Specialty; Clinical Nurse Specialist, Durham Veterans Administration Medical Center; Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center

This is the third, thoroughly revised and updated edition of the book formerly entitled Geriatric Nursing Protocols for Best Practice. The protocols address key clinical conditions and circumstances likely to be encountered by a hospital nurse caring for older adults. They represent ""best practices"" for acute care of the elderly as developed by nursing experts around the country as part of the Hartford Foundation's Nurses Improving Care to the Hospitalized Elderly project (NICHE).

This third edition includes 17 revised and updated chapters and more than 15 new topics including critical care, diabetes, hydration, oral health care, palliative care, and substance abuse. Each chapter includes educational objectives, assessment of the problem, nursing intervention or care strategies, and references; most chapters have case studies.
