Description
The Nursing Assistant: Essentials of Holistic Care teaches the knowledge and skills you need to become a nursing assistant. With a sharp focus on holistic care, this text will guide you in performing the procedures required of nursing assistants while integrating and considering patients' and residents' bodies, minds, and spirits. Through rich and visual, step-by-step procedures, you will learn the techniques necessary to work in a variety of healthcare settings, including long-term and acute care. Holistic care is at the center of this book's approach to nursing assisting. This innovative approach is illustrated in the Providing Holistic Care Framework, which embodies the meaning of holistic care and communicates the importance of meeting the needs of the whole person--body, mind, and spirit. Comprehensive procedures outline techniques for properly executing the responsibilities of a nursing assistant. With easy-to-follow instructions, professional photographs, and detailed illustrations, these procedures provide important information for the certification competency examination. Practice test questions, similar to those found on the certification competency examination, can be completed at the end of each chapter. These questions are accompanied by numerous reinforcement, critical thinking, and application activities and provide an opportunity to prepare for the certification competency examination. Practice questions are also available in the Study Guide and instructors presentations for PowerPoint. Each chapter is divided into sections, making it easy to review content in manageable chunks for maximum understanding. Review questions at the end of each section help reinforce the material to solidify your learning. Professional videos demonstrating procedures are available on EduHub. After viewing these videos, you will be better able to visualize the procedural steps you must master for the certification competency examination.
