Evidence-Based Geriatric Nursing Protocols for Best Practice, 7th Edition, offers a clinical reference for geriatric nurses, clinicians, educators, students, and interprofessional healthcare teams. The volume outlines structured protocols designed to support patient outcomes and improve the quality of care delivered to older adults across diverse practice environments.

The content is organized across five distinct sections that address essential components of care delivery. Readers examine methods for evidence incorporation and foundational assessment principles before progressing to direct clinical interventions, specialty practice areas, and models of care. Topics within these sections address chronic condition management, nutrition support, and specialized assessments for older individuals.

To strengthen the clinical validity of its recommendations, the text uses the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) systematic method. This standardized appraisal framework provides interprofessional teams and academic programs with a structured foundation for evaluating protocols across acute, long-term, and community settings.
