Nursing in Care Homes is a practical guide for nurses of all levels
working in care homes. It is directly relevant to everyday practice
and covers clinical issues such as continence care, wound care,
infection control, and nutrition, as well as information on a wide
range of issues including legal requirements, care home standards,
and liasing with social and health care services. The revised and
updated second edition includes new chapters on maximising
abilities, risk management, stroke, and diabetes and calls upon the
recommendations of the National Service Framework for Older People
and the requirements of the Care Standards Act (2002).
Concise and easy to follow, Nursing in Care Homes is an essential guide to skilled professional care for all nurses in care homes. It will also be invaluable to nursing students undertaking their placements in care homes.
