“This well-developed book provides acute care guidelines for the geriatric population in an easy-to-follow format that uses structural elements such as numbering and multilevel lists for each system. It is an excellent reference for advanced practice prepared clinicians to help identify, diagnose, and develop a treatment plan for acute health issues in older adults and geriatric patients.” - Tho Nguyen, DNP, MSN, RN
