In easy-to-read form, the book presents not only thorough coverage of practice and illness management but also a wide range of professional information:
+ Theoretical foundations, including aging and developmental theories as well as nursing and health promotion models
+ Role development issues such as educational preparation, credentialing, standards of practice, and role functions
+ Patient education, educational program development, and staff development
+ Gerontological advanced practice nursing in collaboration, consulting, and research
+ Leadership and health service delivery issues
