“There are many textbooks available for nursing assistants. This one stands out for not only its currency, but also for the attractiveness of its structure and format, as well as its inclusion of work settings beyond skilled nursing facilities. The inclusion of acute care as well as home health care make this a versatile book worth considering.”
