Designated a Doody's Core Title! Winner of an A.J.N. Book of the Year Award! Bethel Ann Powers gives a comprehensive and thoughtful examination of the ethical issues that arise in long-term care. The first two chapters set the stage by exploring the pre-nursing home experiences of families living with dementia and, in contrast, how residents and family members experience life in the nursing home. The following chapters contain detailed hypothetical cases that include questions, possible actions, and insightful commentary to illustrate practical approaches to understanding common ethical issues affecting nursing home residents. "This is an excellent book which should find its way into the hands of nursing-home managers and head nurses, and which could form the basic of an educational module for nurses working in nursing homes. The sooner, the better."-- Roger Watson , University of Hull "An important, well organized, practical, and lucid treatment of ethical issues that arise in nursing homes...a must-read for members of nursing home ethics committees."-- Rosalie A. Kane, DSW, Professor, Public Health Division for Health Services, Research and Policy School of Public Health, University of Minnesota "...pertinent and compelling...a significant new direction in consideration of the ethical issues surrounding dementia care...I strongly recommend it to professional caregivers and to those who have demented kin or significant others living in nursing homes."-- Jaber F.
