Workbook

for Hartman’s Nursing Assistant Care: Long-Term Care and Home Care, Fifth Edition

Because the workbook is designed to help students review what they have learned from reading the textbook, it is organized around learning objectives, which work like a built-in study guide. Multiple choice, true/false, crosswords, critical thinking scenarios, and other activities test the student’s knowledge of each chapter. And our workbook’s page count did not increase, nor did we increase workbook pricing for this edition.
