Awarded first place in the 2019 AJN Book of the Year Awards in the Gerontologic Nursing category second place in the Advanced Practice Nursing category. Equip your students to provide expert primary care of older adults with a case-based approach to geriatric primary care and multimorbidity management! Written by two leading academic and clinical experts in geriatric primary care, Case Studies in Geriatric Primary Care and Multimorbidity Management, 1st Edition uses detailed Exemplar Case Studies and Practice Case Studies to teach primary care students how to think like expert geriatric clinicians. Because most older adults have more than one condition when seeking care, both Exemplar and Practice Case Studies place a strong emphasis on multimorbidity management (the management of patients with a host of complex, interacting conditions). To reflect the reality that care does not necessarily begin or end in the primary care setting, cases move fluidly from primary care to acute care to inpatient rehabilitation to assisted living to long-term care. Building on foundational introductory chapters, cases also call on students to develop interprofessional collaboration skills and reflect the diversity of today's older adults, in terms of age (young-old to old-old), gender, culture, ethnicity, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and more! As students work through both basic-level and advanced Practice Case Studies, they can make extensive notes in the printed book and then go online to submit answers for grading and receive expert feedback for self-reflection.
