<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">The Physiological Effects of Ageing is a comprehensive resource for student nurses, qualified nurses and allied professionals working with older people in a variety of contexts, enabling them to apply their knowledge of the ageing process and in doing so enhance care delivery. This book emphasizes the normal ageing changes before considering possible effects of ageing on body systems. Although problems associated with ageing are identified, nursing assessment and interventions are considered which can help reduce the impact these changes have on a person&rsquo;s functional ability. This is a highly accessible text which encourages holistic patient-centred care.</span></p> <p> <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p> <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Special Features:</span></p> <p> <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size: small;">&middot;</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Explores current theories of ageing</span></p> <p> <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size: small;">&middot;</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Makes use of reflective points and points of practice</span></p> <p> <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size: small;">&middot;</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Looks at key topics of maintaining a safe environment and communication</span></p> <p> <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size: small;">&middot;</span><span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Discusses error theory, free radical theory and the immune theory</span></p>
Industry Reviews
"In order to provide quality and effective care, it is important that we are knowledgeable about the needs of this group and this book provides a good grounding in this area." (International Journal of Orthopaedic and Trauma Nursing, 1 November 2011)

"The value of this book lies in the skilful way in which the authors have meshed normal and disordered physiology of ageing with Roper's models of living and nursing." (Nursing Older People, 1 May 2011)
