Overview
Lippincott Textbook for Nursing Assistants: A Humanistic Approach to Caregiving (6th Edition) by Pamela J. Carter is a comprehensive nurse-aide training text used in CNA programs, built around compassionate, person-centered caregiving across long-term, acute, and home-care settings. This study guide follows it unit by unit, in the same order your course teaches, focusing on the high-yield skills and concepts that CNA exams and competency testing demand. You get an introduction to health care, including the health care system, the nursing assistant role, professionalism and job-seeking, legal and ethical issues, communication, and those we care for, and home health care across the book's ten units. It is an independent, aligned study guide, not the textbook or a copy of it. Because CNA practice is skills-driven, this guide emphasizes the steps, safety, infection-control, and resident-rights content that the written and skills portions of the certification exam test. Use it to consolidate CNA knowledge for class and the certification exam.
Aligned with nurse aide (CNA) training programs; the review reinforces the caregiving skills, safety, infection-control, and residents' rights content tested on the written and skills portions of the CNA certification exam.
