Ebersole and Hess’ Gerontological Nursing & Healthy Aging – 6th Edition

Ebersole and Hess' Gerontological Nursing & Healthy Aging

Title: Ebersole and Hess' Gerontological Nursing & Healthy Aging Edition: Sixth Edition Authors: Touhy | Jett Publisher: Elsevier

Cover Design: The cover uses a warm lavender-purple as its dominant accent color, appearing in the header band carrying the authors' names in bold white, the "SIXTH EDITION" badge on the left side, and the footer bar. The title area sits on a clean white background with "EBERSOLE and HESS'" in small dark gray caps and "Gerontological Nursing & Healthy Aging" in large, warm teal display type. The Elsevier logo and Evolve access badge anchor the bottom corners.

Cover Photography: Four warm, authentic photographs are arranged in a collage across the center of the cover, each depicting older adults in positive, active life contexts — a diverse group of laughing older adults socializing outdoors together, an older patient walking and smiling with a nurse in a clinical setting, an older couple using binoculars outdoors on what appears to be a hiking or birding outing, and a grandfather and young granddaughter looking at a tablet together. The images collectively reinforce the book's philosophy of aging as a time of health, engagement, connection, and dignity rather than decline.

About the Book: The leading gerontological nursing textbook, carrying forward the legacy of Ebersole and Hess with a holistic, strengths-based approach to caring for older adults. It covers healthy aging theory, age-related changes, common health conditions, and the nursing role across all care settings serving older populations.

Audience: Undergraduate and graduate nursing students, geriatric nurses, and advanced practice providers caring for older adult populations.
