Summary
This best-selling resource provides the theoretical and skills content nursing assistants require for the successful completion of the certification test. A major goal of the content is to help nursing assistants develop an understanding of the principles on safe and effective care of residents in long-term care. Core values stressed include empathy, caring, communication skills, and respect for residents and their families. Special emphasis is placed on ensuring resident's rights, adequate nutrition and hydration, maintenance of mobility, psychosocial interactions, and a safe environment. Liberal illustrations aid in visual learning.
Author Biography
Read moreBarbara Robinson Hegner, RN, MSN, was a graduate of a three-year diploma nursing program where direct and total care was the focus. She earned a BSN at Boston College and an MS in nursing from Boston University, with a minor in biologic sciences. She was Professor Emeritus of Nursing and Life Sciences at Long Beach City College, Long Beach (CA). Throughout her professional career, she had a deep interest in both hospital-based and long-term care nursing. Ms. Hegner believed that to ensure the rights and well-being of residents in long-term care requires the care of competent, caring nursing assistants under the supervision of professional nurses. The nursing assistants who provide this care should be thoroughly trained and consistently encouraged, evaluated, and given the opportunity for continued learning. Providing the tools to prepare these health care providers in the most effective and efficient way is the goal of Assisting in Long-Term Care, fourth edition. Other texts by Barbara R. Hegner, also from Delmar Publishers are: Geriatrics, A Study of Maturity, fifth edition, and Nursing Assistant, A Nursing Process Approach, eighth edition. Joan Fritsch Needham, MSEd, RNC, is a contributing author to the fourth edition of Assisting in Long-Term Care. She also graduated from a three-year diploma nursing program. She received her BS from the College of Saint Francis and her MS from Northern Illinois University. She is certified by the American Nurses Association in Gerontological Nursing. Ms. Needham was Director of Education at a long-term care facility where she was responsible for staff development, curriculum development and instruction for basic and advanced nursing assistant training, and development and instruction in continuing education courses for licensed nurses. In addition, she is a consultant on nursing assistant education and nursing continuing education. She contributed to Nursing Assistant, A Nursing Process Approach, sixth, seventh, and eighth editions and is the author of Gerontological Nursing -- A Restorative Approach (Delmar) and Plans of Care for Specialty Practice, Gerontological Nursing (Delmar).
