Give your students the knowledge and skills they need to provide safe, compassionate long-term care! Mosby's Textbook for Long-Term Care Nursing Assistants, 9th Edition prepares students to succeed as professional caregivers for residents in long-term care settings. More than 100 step-by-step procedures include clear instructions for performing skills such as measuring vital signs, bedmaking, and collecting specimens. Not only does the book cover the functions and limitations of the nursing assistant’s role, but its delegation guidelines outline the information students need to collect from the nurse and care plan before performing and then documenting a procedure. With easy-to-follow coverage of all of the care required by OBRA, this text also helps students prepare for success on the Nursing Assistant certification exam.

    • Concise long-term care content is presented at a 6th-grade reading level to make understanding easier for readers of all levels and abilities.
    • More than 100 procedures are divided into pre-procedure, procedure, and post-procedure sections for easier learning, and a NATCEP® icon indicates skills that are covered in certification exams.
    • Color illustrations and photographs depict key ideas, concepts, and procedure steps.
    • Featured boxes highlight principles of care with Teamwork and Time Management, Quality of Life, Residents with Dementia, Time to Reflect, Promoting Safety and Comfort, Focus on Rehabilitation, Focus on Communication, and Delegation Guidelines.
    • Procedure icons in the headings identify content for which a related procedure is included.
    • Play icons in the Procedure boxes alert you to related video clips on the Evolve website.
    • Key Terms and Key Abbreviations at the beginning of each chapter introduce important words and commonly used abbreviations, and a separate glossary for each is included at the end of the book.
    • Chapter Review Questions help you evaluate your comprehension.
    • Review Question Answers are included at end of the text to allow for self-evaluation.
