This book presents holistic nursing care based on rehabilitation principles for older clients with chronic health alterations. Rehabilitation and gerontological concepts are explained and discussed with an emphasis on health maintenance, promotion of self-care, and prevention of secondary complications. The purpose is to provide a reference for long-term caregivers in post-acute care settings. The content focuses on the application of rehabilitation practices to the care of older adults with chronic health conditions. The targeted audience is long-term caregivers in post-acute settings. The author assumes that the reader has basic knowledge of aging and the nursing process. She has more than 20 years clinical experience and is certified as an advanced practice nurse in both rehabilitation and gerontology. The book is divided into four sections: Part I provides an introduction into rehabilitation and gerontology; Part II focuses on practical, clinical information of related health probl ems; Part III presents nursing implications related to selected common diagnoses in the older adult; and Part IV presents additional issues related to gerontological rehabilitation nursing. The unique aspect of this book is the combination of both rehabilitation and gerontological principles in a useful and meaningful manner. The author uses numerous case studies in each chapter to exemplify key points. The inclusion of decision trees for nutrition, bladder assessment, and post-stroke rehabilitation are particularly helpful. Numerous tables, figures, and pictures augment the text. Reference to research is included throughout the book. This book is extremely valuable to nurses caring for older adults who require rehabilitation nursing services. Many of the same topics are covered in Chin's, Rehabilitation Nursing Practice (McGraw Hill, 1998); however, Easton specifically applies rehabilitation principles to the geriatric population. This book is a valuable and practical addition to t he libraries of nurses practicing in geriatric, rehabilitation, and home settings. Joyce H.
