Gerontological nursing as an emerging specialty is now recognized by all professional nurses as a legitimate professional entity capable of governing the care of older adults through implementation of standards of care. The historical upgrading of care is now reaching its culmination in the newly revised document titled Scope and Standards of Gerontological Nursing as published in 1988 by the Council of Gerontological Nursing of the American Nurses Association. The utilization of these standards should continue to assist nurses in whatever facility they may practice to upgrade the care delivered through partnership with the older adult and their family to a high degree of satisfaction for the consumer and the gerontological nurse practitioner. Expanded knowledge, expertise in skill and care measured by the standards of care are key components in achieving success as a professional nurse and bring pride to the profession of nursing.
老年护理作为一个新兴的专业领域,现已被所有专业护士认可为一个合法的专业实体,能够通过实施护理标准来管理老年人的护理工作。护理的历史演进如今在一份新修订的文件中达到了顶点,这份文件名为《老年护理的范围与标准》,由美国护士协会老年护理委员会于1988年发布。这些标准的运用应继续帮助护士,无论他们在何种机构工作,通过与老年人及其家庭合作,将提供的护理提升至让消费者和老年护理执业者都高度满意的程度。通过护理标准衡量的知识拓展、技能专长和护理水平,是成为一名专业护士并为护理行业带来自豪感的关键要素。
