Very in-depth and easily assimilated, progressive material for an entry level program leading to obtaining state board of licensing certification.
Information is totally accurate and relative to acquiring certification for NA students.
Currently up to date information.
Will not be easily outdated unless research dictates.
Easy to understand with the Learning Activities Quizzes, Glossary and Utube videos for promoting an easily to understand progressive format.,
Each section has clear learning objectives delivered utilizing a clearly understood formal carried out in each section.
Easy, concise reading. Written to present one concept at a time, not requiring rereading to understand the content.
The overview at the beginning chapters integrates basic healthcare concept, definitions, and flows throughly toward the end skills. Promotes a holistic understanding of the NA material..
Navigation is easily executed. Starts with important healthcare definitions and builds throughout each chapter to achieve a comprehensive, relevant NA teaching text.
No grammatical errors noted.
Cultural references are timeless.
Teaching Nursing Students at a Community College, I would clearly use this as a basis for a program leading to Nursing Assistant certification.

The books covered most of the important fields in nursing assistance, but still missing some of the wound care, intravenous line, and care of mentally debilitated patients, video presentation with a simulation patient(dummy)is very informative and helpful to understand different techniques used for patients care in the hospital setting.
content is accurate and relevant, with emphasis on how to implement the different techniques in patient care.
The material is up-to-date and straightforward, easy to understand and relevant with the topics.
simple and easy terms used that are familiar to students especially if students already have medical terminology class.
it's consistent with medical terminologies which frequently used in medical settings.
should be easily reorganized at different points with associated videos presentation.
topics are organized and logical.
no significant interface issue.
I didn't find any grammatical errors.
Because it is used in the simulation so it is not culturally insensitive or offensive at all.
