Evidence-Based Geriatric Nursing Protocols for Best Practice 4th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Elizabeth Capezuti provides the most current, evidence-based protocols for care of common clinical conditions and issues in elderly patients.
Designed to improve the quality, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of health care, these guidelines are the result of collaboration between leading practitioners and educators in geriatric nursing and New York University College of Nursing. Protocols for each clinical condition have been developed by experts in that particular area, and most have been systematically tested by over 300 participating hospitals in Nurses Improving Care for Health System Elders (NICHE).
Evidence is derived from all levels of care, including community, primary, and long-term care. A systematic method in compliance with the AGREE appraisal process was used to rate the levels of evidence for each protocol. Protocols are organized in a consistent format for ease of use, and each includes an overview, evidence-based assessment and intervention strategies, and an illustrative case study with discussion.
Additionally, each protocol is embedded within chapter text, which provides the context and detailed evidence for the protocol. Each chapter contains resources for further study. This book is updated to provide a wide range of evidence-based geriatric protocols for best practices. It contains new chapters on function-focused care, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, mistreatment detection, acute care models, and transitional care. It illustrates application of clinical protocols to real-life practice through case studies and discussion.
This book is edited by nationally known leaders in geriatric nursing education and practice, who are endorsed by the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing and NICHE. It encompasses the contributions of 58 leading practitioners of geriatric care, written for nursing students, nurse leaders, and practitioners at all levels, including those in specialty roles.
