Grounded in the core competencies recommended by the AACN in collaboration with the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing, Ebersole & Hess' Toward Healthy Aging, 9th Edition is the only comprehensive text to address all aspects of gerontological nursing care.

Plus, it contains a variety of new learning features that focus the readers' attention on applying research and thinking critically in providing care to aging adults across the care continuum.
