The book’s contents run the gamut of elder problems and care: physiology, pharmacology, nutrition, restraints, substance abuse, family involvement, sepsis, and so on; it is a compendium that can be used as a text or a resource. My preference would be for readers to become familiar with the contents and approach sections
when you need them most so that their value will be immediately accessible. Written by nurses and physicians, the material covered is aided by the use of numerous case studies that illustrate and exemplify emblematic problems and solutions.
