| Annotation | This is a comprehensive introduction to aged care for the nursing profession in clinical practice, which encourages practice with a focus on individuals' potential and capacities rather than their limits. Theories of ageing are linked with the older individual's strengths. Divided into three parts, the book presents the topic from perspectives ranging from healthy ageing to chronic illness, frailty and end of life care. Case studies combine evidence-based knowledge with practical examples in a number of aged care settings, principally in Australia and New Zealand. (RH). |
