Lippincott's Textbook for Long-term Care Nursing Assistants A Humanistic Approach to Caregiving

<p><b>Lippincott's Textbook for Long-Term Care Nursing Assistants</b> is an adaptation of Carter: <b>Lippincott's Textbook for Nursing Assistants, Second Edition</b>. Whereas <b>Lippincott's Textbook for Nursing Assistants</b> was written to prepare nursing assistants to work in any health care setting (hospitals, nursing homes, or home health), <b>Lippincott's Textbook for Long-Term Care Nursing Assistants</b> focuses exclusively on preparing nursing assistants to work in the long-term care setting (that is, nursing homes and assisted-living facilities). Because most of the people a nursing assistant is caring for in the long-term care setting will be elderly, this adaptation has a strong gerontology component. The book also strives to help the student to understand the long-term care environment, which is heavily regulated by the government.</p> <p>In addition to all of the features found in Carter: <b>Lippincott's Textbook for Nursing Assistants, Lippincott's Textbook for Long-Term Care Nursing Assistants</b> includes a "Be Smart About Surveys!" feature (to demystify the survey process for the student by raising the student's awareness of what the surveyor is looking for during a survey) and "Dementia Care Tips", which highlight special care considerations for residents with dementia.</p> <p>A bound-in CD-ROM and a companion Website include a Spanish-English audio glossary, learning objectives, Listen and Learn, and 29 Watch and Learn video clips.</p>
