This book provides basic, non controversial and trusted information that can help a wide spectrum of readers. The primary objective of the information is to help a person provide effective quality care to a loved one or someone in his or her care. Your role as a caregiver could mean the older person in your care is a family member or loved one, or you may be a non family member who is helping out a friend. Alternatively, you may be a paid health worker providing quality care for a client. With this in mind, we will alternate between referring to family members, loved ones, older persons and clients. All the information is reliable and was written by a group of eminent nurse educators who ensured the information complies with best practice guidelines and satisfies the various accreditation and regulatory bodies. Because there is so much unreliable information on the internet, you can be assured the "All About" publications are HON (Health On the Net) certified. This book can be an invaluable aid to: - A caregiver caring for a relative or friend - A health worker seeking a reference aid - An older patient or person at risk of falling - Any person involved in health care wishing to expand his or her knowledge - About the publisher: Mediscript Communications was founded in 1996 by a management team of marketing executives, writers, nurse educators, psychologists and distribution companies to provide a unique and effective style of publications, empowering readers and patients, through interaction, personalization and subsequent relevance.
