CNA study guide 2024-2025 : review book with 300 practice questions & answer explanations for the certified Nursing Assistant Exam / by Hanley Test Preparation.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 212-214).CNA examination overview -- Physical Care Skills -- Psychosocial care skills -- The role of nurse aide -- Skills test preparation -- Practice tests.Explanations for the Certified Nursing Assistant Exam.How this 4-point method can help you ace the "slipperiest" part of the CNA Exam. Do you know what makes it harder to study for the CNA exam compared to other standardized tests? Why so many nursing assistants call the skills portion the "trickiest" part of the exam?... And what you can do differently to stack the odds in your favor? Being able to recite the skills of a nursing assistant doesn't make demonstrating them any easier. That's why so many candidates struggle to pass the CNA exam. Because even if you've completely memorized all the steps and procedures, putting them into action while being evaluated is a completely different story. And unless you actually have clinical experience performing these skills, it'll probably take hours of physically practicing all 23 skills to cram them into your brain. That's where this study guide can help. It incorporates a special technique called the "P.A.C.E." Method that helps candidates master each and every skill in the CNA exam, both written and demonstrated. Not only will you gain a comprehensive overview of what to expect on test day, but you'll also find out how to ease the pressure that often comes with the skills portion. This guide also teaches you how to correct yourself properly during the skills test... why you can't afford NOT to spot your mistakes... and key tips to remember when you're interacting with your client. With 5 full-length practice tests and dozens of extra practice questions, you'll have a full grasp of what to expect on each section of the exam. You'll also discover how to use the P.A.C.E. Method to guide your way through the skills portion.

Again and again : a novel / by Evison, Jonathan,author.(CARDINAL)354299;
"Geno is living out his final days in a nursing home, bored, curmudgeonly, and struggling to connect with his nursing assistant, Angel, who he sees as being different from him in every way possible, and unable to understand him in any way. Perhaps no one really can, since Geno has been telling everyone who will listen that he's not just Geno--in fact, he's lived many past lives, dating back 1000 years, and since that first life in Seville, Spain, he has been searching for the love of his life he met then and only one other time since. Is this possible--was his life a miraculous one that let him live, again and again? Or is he crazy, or lonely, rehearsing larger-than-life fantasies to get through the day? As Angel comes to learn the truth about Geno, so do we, and as Geno's story comes to a head so does the biggest truth of all: that his story is an expansive ode to love--love we have had and lost, love we wish we had but didn't, and the love that might be staring us right in the face, that we don't even know we're lucky enough to have."--
