Boltz · 6th Edition · ISBN 9780826188267 · Springer Publishing Company
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Evidence-Based Geriatric Nursing Protocols for Best Practice (6th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 39 chapters.
Overview
Evidence-Based Geriatric Nursing Protocols for Best Practice (6th Edition), edited by Marie Boltz and colleagues, is the authoritative protocol reference from the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing. This study guide is built to follow it chapter by chapter, so you review in the same order the protocols are organized — from developing and evaluating clinical practice guidelines and measuring performance, through age-related changes, decision making, and cognitive and physical function assessment, into nutrition, hydration, caregiving, and mistreatment detection, and then through protocols for depression, dementia, delirium, pain, falls, adverse drug events, incontinence, restraints, pressure injuries, frailty, and care across acute, transitional, and palliative settings. It pulls out the high-yield assessment tools, risk factors, and protocol-based interventions you need for exams and best practice. It is an independent, aligned study companion — not the textbook itself and not a reproduction of its content.
Aligned with graduate and specialty geriatric nursing courses and evidence-based practice, supporting course exams and protocol-based gerontological best practice in clinical settings.
