    Description
    This course builds on previous knowledge and skills in applying the nursing process to older adults living in the community. Gerontological nursing theory is stressed with emphasis on lifestyle and physical changes that occur with aging, the process of initiating health referrals for the older adult, and the outcome criteria for evaluating the aging individual's response to teaching and learning. The student will also explore interventions to increase the older adult's functional abilities.
