Lippincott's Advanced Skills for Nursing Assistants A Humanistic Approach to Caregiving

Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins;
1st edition - November 25, 2008
Paperback: 608 pages
ISBN-10: 0781780675
ISBN-13: 978-0781780674
 

This text builds on the basic concepts and skills that the nursing assistant has already mastered. Recognizing that the students using this text have already completed their basic nursing assisting training and may have already been working in the profession, this text does not repeat information that is part of the basic nursing assistant training. Rather, this textbook is meant to be used in conjunction with, or as a follow-up to, a "basic" nursing assistant textbook, such as Lippincott's Textbook for Nursing Assistants.

Lippincott's Textbook for Personal Support Workers: A Humanistic Approach to Caregiving

Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
1st edition - November 1, 2010
Paperback: 944 pages
ISBN-10: 1608311708
ISBN-13: 978-1608311705
 

This book is a Canadian adaptation of Lippincott's Textbook for Nursing Assistants, retaining the book's direct, conversational writing style and emphasis on professionalism and humanism. This adaptation prepares students to work as Personal Support Workers (who may be designated by other titles, depending upon the province) in long-term, acute, and home health settings. The original text has been adapted to cover the Canadian healthcare system, discuss considerations for caring for native Canadian populations, and present SI units of measurement. Although each province has a slightly different scope of practice, care has been taken to address the most general, overriding issues of concern to all provinces.

Nursing Assistant A Nursing Process Approach - Basics

Publisher: Delmar Cengage Learning
1s edition (June 11, 2009)
Paperback: 704 pages
ISBN-10: 1428317465
ISBN-13: 978-1428317468
 

I believe that one of the greatest strengths of this textbook is the reflection of wellness… and caring (displayed by personal case studies). Throughout the text, reinforcement of the students' responsibility level is very dominant (as it should be), Skills are a major component with each body system and caring can be seen with positive behaviors.
