Nursing Assistants Textbook 2026 : A Clinical Reference Covering Resident Safety, Hands-On Skills, and Long-Term Care Fundamentals for CNA Candidates

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Built for the nurse aide candidate who must perform hand hygiene, apply a correctly sized blood pressure cuff, and complete a safe transfer under a critical-step scoring model that fails an entire skill for one missed action, this reference connects body-system physiology and the chain of infection to the technique that decides a state competency evaluation. It moves from delegation and resident rights through vital signs, feeding, elimination, dementia care, and end-of-life care - into the exact sequence each skill actually requires.Skill-by-skill critical step call-outs, correction sequences, and narrative case studies turn abstract technique into defensible, repeatable practice at the bedside and on exam day.From First Shift to State Exam, You Will- Master the chain of delegation and resident rights - the Five Rights framework and OBRA protections that define what you can do without a nurse's order.- Execute PPE donning and doffing in the exact sequence that prevents self-contamination - gloves first, mask last, in the order examiners score.- Measure vital signs the way the skills exam requires - correct cuff sizing, sixty-second pulse counts, and covert respiration counting.- Prevent aspiration during feeding - upright positioning, exact diet-texture adherence, and the first-cough stop rule that protects the airway.- Recognize dementia-related distress without arguing the resident out of it - validation and redirection paired with elopement safeguards.- Catch a stroke, a hypoglycemic crisis, or a heart failure exacerbation early - FAST recognition and same-shift reporting from real chronic-condition patterns.- Walk into the skills evaluation knowing the exact critical step that fails each task - named skill by skill, not left for you to guess.Open it before your first shift - the exact steps a resident's safety, and your certification, depend on.
