Great book about a little known area of health care
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Home Health Care Aides are the unsung stewards of the nursing community. The go into people's homes and perform duties that allow the caregiver to catch a breath take time out for themselves. This book covers the duties that home health care aide books perform. It intermixes training information with actual case stories by home helath care aides themselves. As my teacher told me when I was taking my home health care class, if you can answere the questions at the back of the book you can pass the class.
