Summary

As medical advances become more sophisticated, average life expectancies continue to grow. This presents significant challenges to the health care system, and caring for older people is now every nurse's concern. This book provides a new perspective on nursing care of older people. It helps students examine attitudes towards older people in health care and addresses negative stereotypes. It explores effective communication with older people, specific priorities of care, and the impact of gender, culture and sexuality. The individuality of the older person is emphasised throughout with particular focus on personhood and identity in the care of those with dementia.
