Description
Known for its comprehensive coverage, readability, and visual presentation, Mosby's Textbook for Nursing Assistants, 11th Edition helps prepare you to work in long-term care, acute care, and subacute care settings — and includes a practice scenario in each chapter to enhance your clinical judgment skills. It's the most comprehensive text for CNA programs, packed with step-by-step instructions for more than 100 procedures. Lifespan coverage includes skills not only for adults and older residents, but also for maternity and pediatric patients, so you can be comfortable working in a variety of care settings. Shorter, more focused chapters allow you to learn in manageable portions and an enhanced art program clarifies important concepts and procedural steps.
