Description
Assisting with Patient Care addresses the expanded role of the Patient Care Technician (PCT) or Multi-Skilled Worker (MSW), covering all
of the basic concepts and skills needed by nursing assistants, as well as the more advanced skills required by PCTs or MSWs. This comprehensive
text is visually appealing, with its full-color design and abundance of photos and drawings. Its engaging writing style and 7th-grade
reading level make it a favorite of students at all levels. Five new chapters and eight new procedures provide more comprehensive information
on the nursing process, restraints, specimens, hearing and vision problems, and developmental disabilities.
