About this title

Synopsis

The Workbook for Practice & Leadership in Nursing Homes is a practical guide to help nurses prepare for practice in today’s increasingly complex nursing home settings and provide person-centered care to the residents within them. Designed to be used alongside the Practice & Leadership in Nursing Homes textbook and based on the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials, this Workbook focuses on improving health outcomes for nursing home residents through collaboration, critical thinking, and continuous learning. Learner resources include reflective questions, NextGen NCLEX style questions, case studies with application ideas, pre/post-clinical content topics, classroom activities, and application of content in the clinical and/or simulation setting.
