The fifth edition of this comprehensive nursing assistant training textbook is organized by body system, which gives students a context for learning. Here is important information about the latest edition:
Chapters are organized around body systems (structure and function, normal changes of aging, and common diseases and related care are grouped together). Chapter review sections contain multiple choice questions, along with short answer questions. The concept of person-centered care is reinforced throughout the book. Alzheimer's disease, infection prevention, mental health disorders, and nutrition material, including special diets, has been thoroughly updated. This edition contains new information about the following topics: electronic documentation, bariatrics, preoperative and postoperative care, opioids, and trauma-informed care. Updated information about hypertension guidelines was included, along with a new skill for how to obtain an electronic blood pressure reading. Many new photos have been added. There is a hardback version of this book.
