Advanced Practice Nursing in the Care of Older Adults

This book would be better if it actually worked like a kindle book. It's basically a pdf so there is no changing font size, searching the text, or using other kindle book features. Had i known that before buying, I may have bought the hard copy instead because the print is rather small on my fire 10. I can't imagine reading it on a fire 7 or 8! As for the content, that was solid. Up to date practice guidelines and treatment recommendations. No pictures though- a poor choice by the publisher/ authors.

Very good resource, this was a mandatory buy for a theory class on the older adult (MSN FNP program). We had two mandatory books to buy for this course and I preferred the other text for how the information is organized but I used this every week for writing papers and presentations. Because our exams were so heavily dependent on information from the text, I purchased a downloadable book from another website (not Amazon) and it would not download and the site would not refund my money. Medscape and Epocrates have more current information, this being printed in 2013, but I still found the information very valuable.

GREAT book for my new job...I've been an NP to college students and in urgent care, but this is the first time I've been a nurse practitioner for a geriatric house call practice and this book is perfect. I am really enjoying the format, the timely and research backed treatment protocols and the compassionate, well written style for advising anyone in the business of taking care of old folks! (which I am rapidly become one of!)This is a must-read for all medical people but is especially suited to a Geriatric NP or Family Practice NP who see elderly patients regularly.

That k you

Great book that was a course requirement for my adult gerontology class. However, I returned it halfway through my semester because I had other books with similar information.

Great Geriatric review for FNP class. Provided helpful information

It's easy to read and understand, chapters are not long.

Not sure how nursing students view this reference, but not too helpful for me in pharmacy practice.

Great book
