The Home Health Aide Handbook Second Edition
S
This beautiful, full-color, second edition of
The Home Health Aide Handbook is unlike any other handbook or
pocket guide on
the market.
This up-to-date book
is a valuable tool for many reasons. For home health aides, it
includes all the procedures learned in their training program, plus
references
to abbreviations, medical terms, care guidelines for specific diseases,
and an appendix to include important names and phone numbers. For
certified nursing assistants moving to home care, we've
included helpful information on making the transition from institutions
to homes. In addition, this book contains all of the federal requirements
for home health aides so it also can be used in a basic training program.
Not only is it inexpensive, but it's also FULL-COLOR, loaded with photos
and illustrations! Use it for training AND encourage your aides to
carry
it with them into the field to use as a quick reference tool.
