This completely new book written by nursing thought leader and bestselling author Donna D. Ignatavicius is a concise, easy-to-read, user-friendly, and visually appealing resource for RN and LPN/LVN nursing students that is grounded in the very latest research on the emerging specialized area of long-term care (LTC) nursing practice. The content addresses both didactic content about care of populations in LTC (including rehabilitation and younger residents) and clinical practice in various LTC settings. LTC is provided in nursing homes, assisted living, hospice/palliative care, and other residential centers. This completely new book equips both RN and LPN/LVN nursing students to provide care uniquely tailored to these specialized settings. Learning features in this full-color textbook include a chapter-opening Chapter at a Glance and Key Terms, chapter-ending Key Points and Review Questions for the Next-Generation NCLEX Examination. Recurring learning aids include Clinical Judgment Tips boxes and Evidence-Based Practice Boxes, as well as numerous visually engaging tables, boxes, and illustrations. Online learning resources for students include additional interactive Review Questions for the Next-Generation NCLEX Examination. Online learning resources for faculty include a Test Bank and PowerPoint
