Summary:

As the fastest growing population sector worldwide, older adults are seen in almost every care setting in which clinicians practice.

The book is organized into six units covering cases related to ageism, common health challenges, health promotion, environments of care, cognitive and psychological issues, and issues relating to aging and independence.
