It will be kept by nursing students long after they graduate as a guide to resources that will be valuable throughout their nursing careers. As a home care nurse working mainly with the geriatric community, I found the resources helpful in my practice. As an instructor, I found the book to be a very useful guide for teaching geriatrics.\" \u003cb\u003eScore: 90, 4 Stars. -Doody's Medical Reviews\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Donna Bowles's \u003ci\u003eGerontology Nursing Case Studies\u003c/i\u003e is a unique volume that effectively addresses the lack of gerontology case studies for use with undergraduate nursing students.
