Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials
"Clinical practice changes frequently with new and ongoing research so this book is very needed to show current practices and protocols. The book and the digital media complement each other and enhance readers' ability to use the information."
-- Crystal Plank, RN, BSN, RAC-CTA (MU Sinclair School of Nursing) Doody's Review
"The book is well organized in a logical flow of information. As a clinical educator and a gerontological nurse consultant, I appreciate the evidence-based protocols that help guide the decision-making, intervention strategies, and implementation process. This is a great tool for nursing education and practice. I often use it for teaching and managing nursing care delivery."
-- Katy Nguyen, M.S.N, R.N (MU Sinclair School of Nursing) Doody's Review - previous edition
"As a gerontological clinical educator/research nurse, I will often use this as a reference. The format and the content are good, and the explanations of how to best use the evidence simplify the process of sifting through mountains of information to figure the best practice."
-- JDonna Minner, BSN, RN (University of Missouri-Columbia) Doody's Review - Previous edition
"Now more than ever, nurses are called upon to lead efforts to embed evidence-based practice in daily operations. As the IOM report states, 'nurses have key roles to play as team members and leaders for a reformed and better-integrated, patient-centered health care system.' The process of implementing sweeping change in health care will likely take years; however, nurses must start pragmatically and focus on these critically important protocols that have demonstrated improved outcomes for older adults. Simply stated, 'Pick this book up and use it."
-- From the Foreword, Susan L. Carlson, MSN, APRN, ACNS-BC, GNP-BC, FNGNA - President National Gerontological Nurs
