Gain the knowledge and skills you need to provide safe,
compassionate long-term care! Mosby's Textbook for Long-Term Care
Nursing Assistants, 9th Edition prepares you to succeed as a
professional caregiver for residents in long-term care settings.
More than 100 step-by-step procedures include clear instructions
for performing skills such as bedmaking, measuring vital signs, and
collecting specimens. Not only does the book cover the functions
and limitations of the nursing assistant's role, but its delegation
guidelines outline the information you need to collect from the
nurse and care plan before performing and then documenting a
procedure. Written by Clare Kostelnick, an experienced nurse and
instructor, this text also helps you prepare for success on the
Nursing Assistant certification exam. Concise long-term care
content is presented at a 6th-grade reading level to make
understanding easier for readers of all levels and abilities. More
than 100 procedures are divided into pre-procedure, procedure, and
post-procedure sections for easier learning, and a NATCEP® icon
indicates skills that are covered in certification exams. Color
illustrations and photographs depict key ideas, concepts, and
procedure steps. Featured boxes highlight principles of care with
Teamwork and Time Management, Quality of Life, Residents with
Dementia, Time to Reflect, Promoting Safety and Comfort, Focus on
Rehabilitation, Focus on Communication, and Delegation Guidelines.
Procedure icons in the headings identify content for which a
related procedure is included. Play icons in the Procedure boxes

important words and commonly used abbreviations, and a separate
