This concise guide provides nurses with the tools to help older adults with arthritis achieve the highest possible quality of life. Practical tips on nursing management, self care, and the importance of exercise are a focus throughout. Part one presents specific arthritic conditions in a uniform format -- epidemiology, clinical features and management, diagnosis, pharmacotherapy, and nursing management and interventions. Part two presents general strategies for managing arthritis, including comprehensive chapters on a pain management, exercise, and patient teaching. Any nurse working with the elderly will find this a fundamental resource.

Written and compiled by gerontologic nursing leaders, the NGNA Core Curriculum for Gerontological Advanced Practice Nurses provides a broad overview of advanced elder care nursing. In easy-to-scan outline form, the book presents not only a thorough coverage of practice and illness management but also a wide range of professional information.
