<br/><br/> "In Health and Illness in Older Adults, Sue Brown introduces nursing students to the many screenings, assessments and interventions nurses use on a daily basis in their care delivery to older adults in Australia. A unique focus of this book is the development of a portfolio to aid a student's career planning, by means of reflecting and organising details of their previous experience and learning opportunities. The book contains: examples of instruments and tools to assist in holistic care, along with evidence-based findings on various care applications; a series of problem-solving scenarios at the end of each chapter to prompt discussion; multiple-choice questions for revision purposes." - back cover.
