Strongly research-based, this book presents and analyzes the latest research on wandering from the clinical, health care management, and policy literature and offers practical assessment and management tools. Nurses, physicians, gerontologists and others address the range of wandering behaviors of patients with Alzheimer's and other dementias, including prevention of elopement, getting lost, falls, fractures, and the subsequent need for extended nursing home or other supervised care that may result. The book places special emphasis on the difficult and stressful problems of daily patient care, improving safety for those with cognitive impairments, and enabling those with dementia to remain independent longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for all caregivers intent on improving care for the nearly 5 million Americans who are at risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features of this book:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers practical tools for measuring and assessing wandering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmphasizes difficult and stressful \u003cb\u003edaily\u003c\/b\u003e problems of patient care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssesses medication and nonpharmacological interventions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes the Alzheimer's Association's Safe ReturnÆ Program\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighs environmental design factors that influence wandering behaviors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130668695792,"sku":"9780826163660","price":87.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780826163660_p0.jpg?v=1763752648","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780826163660","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
