The Erosion of Autonomy in Long-Term Care
ISBN: 9780195073942 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In few places in American society are adults so dependent on others as in nursing homes.

Promoting autonomy in long-term care, however, is a complex task which requires close attention to everyday routines and a fundamental rethinking of the meaning of autonomy.
This timely work is based on an... In few places in American society are adults so dependent on others as in nursing homes. Minimizing this dependency and promoting autonomy has become ...
