Nursing Assisting: A Foundation in Caregiving, 6eby Diana Dugan RN (Author)ISBN13: 9781604251548 ISBN10: 1604251549 Edition: 6thThe 6th edition of this comprehensive nursing assistant training textbook is organized by body system, which gives students a context for learning. Here is important information about the latest edition:Chapters are organized around body systems (structure and function, normal changes of aging, and common diseases and related care are grouped together). Chapter review sections contain multiple choice questions, along with short answer questions. The concept of personcentered care is reinforced throughout the book. This edition contains new information about the following diseases and disorders: COVID19, migraines and cluster headaches, more types of cancers, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), metabolic syndrome, varicose veins, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD), as well as expanded and reorganized mental health disorder coverage. We added additional electronic documentation guidelines. We included new information on topics including testing (albumin/protein, CT calcium score, pointofcare testing [POCT], and continuous glucose monitoring [CGM] systems); medical devices (stents, Holter monitors, nebulizers); and patient care/treatments (cochlear implants, targeted therapy, and information from the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Institute (IDDSI) on thickened liquids and texture modified foods).
