Caring for the older adult

This book dedicates an entire chapter to policies, frameworks, and political and social issues surrounding the care of older adults.

Consideration is given to the reasons for introducing the NSF, what is stated in it, and how healthcare has changed in response to this.

By using one major case study, which develops throughout the text, the subject is brought into a real-life perspective.

The case study appears in its entirety in an appendix at the back of the book.

Learning activities and smaller case studies demonstrate the practical aspects of this branch of nursing.
