Gerontological Nursing, 11th Edition, authored by Charlotte Eliopoulos and published by Wolters Kluwer Health, is a comprehensive textbook designed for nursing students preparing for geriatric clinical practice. The text establishes a foundation in gerontological care by addressing the physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of older adults across diverse wellness and illness settings.
Core thematic arcs link pathophysiology, disease management, and clinical judgment. Students explore normal age-related changes alongside complex health alterations, studying major body systems, acute illnesses, and long-term care needs. The content structures patient care around safety, symptom management, and holistic assessment principles.
Honored as a two-time AJN Book of the Year finalist and holding a Doody's 4 Star rating, this edition equips nursing programs with targeted academic instruction. It provides future nurses with evidence-based principles required to manage geriatric patient care in varied healthcare environments.
