This concise and user-friendly resource contains the fundamental
information long-term care nurses need to provide all aspects of
safe and effective care to their patients in nursing homes and
assisted living facilities. Written by a renowned and highly
respected nurse leader in long-term care and gerontology, it
presents key facts and core competencies related to the clinical
and managerial responsibilities of nurses in these settings.
Information on the specific skills required for this challenging
specialty, as well as must-know information on regulatory
standards, site visits, management and leadership, and dementia
care, is presented in a consistent format for quick access to
information. The guide embodies a holistic approach to nursing that
recognizes the importance of quality of life in addition to quality
of care. It provides an overview of the unique features of
long-term care, addressing the operational differences in these
settings from those of acute settings, the distinct
responsibilities of long-term care nurses, special needs of the
residents, and major clinical challenges. Since most long-term care
nurses are responsible for supervising unlicensed personnel, the
book addresses relevant management and leadership issues. The guide
also covers legal risks, documentation essentials, and the
importance of self-care. Additionally, it offers guidance in the
use of evidence-based knowledge within the constraints of long-term
settings. Features such as "Pearls of Wisdom" assist readers in
reinforcing and applying content. Also included are plentiful
resources for more in-depth information. The book will also serve
as a useful study resource for Long-Term Nursing Care
Certification. This book was originally published under the Fast
Facts series by Springer Publishing Company.
