About the Book

Cases of cardiovascular disorders among the older adult population have been increasing constantly. The cardiovascular system weakens through time as aging cells prevail. The nurse caring for a geriatric client needs to have a broad understanding about cardiovascular diseases, their causation, diagnostic procedures, symptoms, and treatment. This text will help you become more qualified and certified to provide care for this wave of baby boomers both by better equipping you to take and pass the gerontological nursing examination or general nursing, and by expanding your knowledge about the cardiovascular system through the rationales provided in the answers for the 202 questions. This book is not limited to future Gerontological Nurses (GN) only, it can be used by Practical Nurses (PN), student nurses, and RN (Registered Nurse) generalist. Sample Questions: 1. During a cardioversion, the gerontological nurse noticed the practical nurse place conductive pads on the chest of an older adult client below the right clavicle to the right of the sternum and in the midaxillary line on the left of the chest. What will be the best course of action for the nurse? (a. assist in properly positioning the pads b. demonstrate how to place the conductive pads c. turn on the ECG (electrocardiogram) recording strip d. connect the client's ECG cable to the converter) 2.

A morbidly obese older adult client was prescribed colesevelam (Welchol), atenolol (Tenormin), and metformin (Glucophage). What would be the best course of action for the nurse?
