Life transitions in the older adult

"Nurses and other health care professionals can play an important role in helping older adults cope with transitional periods, and in minimizing or preventing their health consequences. This book examines the types of major transitions for the elderly - such as relocation, retirement, institutionalization, bereavement and loss - and their common implications for health. The contributors show how nursing interventions with older adults coping with change can mediate and even prevent adverse health consequences."--BOOK JACKET.
