Abstract
- Heart failure affects 5.1 million Americans. It is the leading cause of hospitalization in older adults and the most common cause of re-admissions, which cost approximately $12 billion annually. Re-admissions can be reduced through increased nurses’ knowledge in heart failure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
