Mosby's Textbook for Nursing Assistants
Remmert, Sorrentino · 11th Edition
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Mosby's Textbook for Nursing Assistants (11th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 60 chapters.
Overview
Mosby's Textbook for Nursing Assistants, 11th Edition, is the Sorrentino and Remmert text that prepares you for the nurse-aide role and the certification exam, and this study guide is built to walk beside it chapter for chapter across all 60 chapters. It follows the book's flow — from health care agencies, residents' rights, delegation, and ethics and laws, into safety, infection prevention, and safe handling, then through the hands-on care skills of hygiene, grooming, elimination, nutrition, vital signs, and specimen collection, and on to the body-system disorders, mental health and dementia care, maternal and newborn care, emergency and end-of-life care, and getting a job. For each chapter you get a plain-English summary of the key points, a short list of objectives placed up front so you know what to master, and practice questions in the style of the state competency and NNAAP exams with a full rationale for every answer. The rationales explain why the wrong choices are wrong, so you build the judgment to keep residents safe rather than just memorizing steps. Because nursing-assistant testing is heavy on procedure, safety, and communication, the guide keeps you focused on exactly those points: correct body mechanics, standard precautions, measuring and reporting vital signs, and protecting dignity and rights during personal care. Each section is short enough to finish in a sitting and printable so you can highlight and annotate it before clinicals or skills check-offs. Use it to prepare for competency exams, to review before your skills evaluation, and to build habits you will carry into every shift. It is a companion you can keep and reuse throughout your training and first job. Original, independently written, and not affiliated with the publisher.
Aligned with state-approved nurse-aide training and written in the style of the NNAAP and state competency exams, so the practice questions mirror how nursing-assistant knowledge and skills are tested.
