Gerontologic Nursing

The textbook Gerontologic Nursing, 7th Edition offers evidence-grounded instruction for nursing students and gerontologic nurses providing care to aging populations across clinical practice environments. To assist readers in retrieving facts regarding age-related structural and functional body system changes, the core chapters are structured around body systems.

Using a disorder-focused approach, the book details nursing management and care coordination across various healthcare delivery settings. The text connects aging theory directly with nursing theory to demonstrate how theoretical principles apply within clinical practice. Integrated cultural information throughout the text prepares clinicians to provide culturally congruent care.

To support board preparation, select clinical chapters incorporate Next Generation NCLEX-style cases and exam questions. The text achieved second place in the Gerontologic Nursing category for the 2025 American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Awards. It was also selected for inclusion in the 2026 Doody's Core Titles list in Geriatrics.
