American Journal of Nursing
: Nursing Care of Older Adults
Newest in the American Journal of Nursing (AJN) resource base is the How to Try This series, a John A. Hartford Foundation-funded project provided to the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing at New York University's College of Nursing in collaboration with the AJN. This initiative will translate the evidence-based geriatric assessment tools in the Try This assessment series into cost-free, web-based resources including demonstration videos, and a corresponding print series featured in the AJN, developed to build geriatric assessment skills - the foundation for appropriate care of older adults. Also available are the articles and case-study videos in the New Look at the Old series, a collaborative effort between the AJN and the Gerontological Society of America, supported with funding from the Atlantic Philanthropies. This series details best practices around issues such as functional decline in hospitalized older adults; nutritional needs and interventions; appropriate medications; and other topics that present daily in the care of older adults. All of these materials are available at no cost.
