Wykle and Gueldner (nursing, Case Western Reserve U.) bring together 45 chapters in this text for gerontology educators that aims to attract healthcare students to careers in gerontology. Veteran gerontologists, nurses, and recent graduates and students from the US, Ireland, and Asia address key aspects in gerontological education, including mentoring; programs involving student participation in interdisciplinary community-based projects; learning activities such as continuing education programs at nursing homes and other care facilities; and social issues in the field, including disparities in health services, manpower shortages and service gaps, and engagement of elders in community events. Other chapters cover practice issues like pain management, assessing and preventing the functional decline associated with hospitalization, preparing for life changes, end-of-life care, dental care, and working with patients with dementia. Activities for preserving personhood and promoting connections such as cooking, companion animals, and gardening are discussed as well. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
