Caring for the Older Person: Practical Care in Hospital, Care Home or at Home (Wiley Series in Nursing)

Practical Use

The nursing value is practical: assessment, prioritization, judgment, and patient-care language. The best use is active study rather than passive reading.

Subject Focus

• Guideline, policy, or evidence-based material gives the book a useful connection to current practice standards.
• Nursing coverage centers the reading around care planning, judgment, and patient-facing decisions.

Overview

Caring for the Older Person: Practical Care in Hospital, Care Home or at Home (Wiley Series in Nursing) reads as a nursing education title built around surgery, nursing, and evidence-based practice. That gives it a clearer role than a general survey text.

Likely Readers

The natural reader is nursing students, clinical instructors, practicing nurses, and staff working through patient-care scenarios. A casual browser may miss the point; this is more useful when the buyer already has a course, rotation, certification, or clinical problem in mind.

Editorial Notes

The tone is best approached as professional reference material. It should reward readers who need precise terminology and a clear route back to the subject later.
