Today more than 10 million people require some form of long-term
care, a number that is rapidly increasing and will continue to do
so for years to come. 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"" and ""Fast Facts
Highlights"" 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. Key Features: Embodies
