The Nursing Assistant: Essentials of Holistic Care teaches the knowledge and skills needed to become a nursing assistant. With this text's sharp focus on holistic care, students will learn how to perform the procedures required of nursing assistants while integrating and considering patients' and residents' bodies, minds, and spirits. The rich and visual, step-by-step procedures in this book illustrate 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 and embodies the meaning of holistic care, communicating the importance of meeting the needs of the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
  • Comprehensive procedures introduce techniques for properly executing the responsibilities of a nursing assistant. Using 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, are found at the end of each chapter. These questions are accompanied by numerous reinforcement, critical thinking, and application activities and provide an opportunity for students to prepare for the certification competency examination. Practice questions are also available in the Study Guide and instructor's presentations for PowerPoint.
  • Each chapter is broken into sections, making it easy to assign manageable chunks and create lessons that introduce and reinforce content for maximum understanding. Review questions at the end of each section also reinforce material to solidify student learning.
  • Professional videos demonstrating procedures are available on the Online Learning Suite that accompanies this text. These videos help students visualize the steps they must master for the certification competency examination.
