Dennoch stellt es den alten Menschen in den zentralen Mittelpunkt der Pflege und ist damit ideal für die Auszubildenden geeignet, die ihre Ausbildung in einer Altenpflegeeinrichtu... beginnen und beenden. Alle Inhalte sind anschaulich an Pflegesituationen aus der Altenpflege dargestellt und erfüllen damit die neuen Anforderungen der generalistischen Ausbildung an die Kompetenzentwicklung der Auszubildenden. Als Kernstück pflegerischer Arbeit zieht sich der Pflegeprozess durch alle Kapitel und versorgt Pflegende mit der Basiskompetenz, die sie für die Pflege von Menschen unterschiedlichsten Alters benötigen. So deckt das Werk zahlreiche Pflegediagnosen ab, die bei der Pflege älterer Menschen von Bedeutung sind. Besonderes Plus: Die Gliederung der Kapitel 9 – 14 orientiert sich an den Themenfeldern (Kognition und Kommunikation, Mobilität und Beweglichkeit etc.) der strukturierten Informationssammlung und ist damit – gerade für das Setting „stationäre Langzeitpflege" – äußerst praxisnah.

      Obra que cubre todas las materias propias de un primer nivel de anatomía y fisiología, con una gran profusión de recursos pedagógicos como ejemplos y analogías que ayudan al estudiante a entender los conceptos más difíciles. Diseñada de forma que se presente la información con un marco conceptual sobre el cual el alumno pueda comprender el cuerpo humano. Se trata de un texto simple y sintético enfocado en dos temas fundamentales: la estructura normal y la función del cuerpo humano, y en lo que el cuerpo humano hace para mantener la homeostasis. Ofrece una aproximación visual al aprendizaje, como se puede apreciar en las detalladas ilustraciones, fotografías, imágenes médicas y diagramas de flujo, que permiten al alumno «visualizar» los conceptos descritos en el texto. Las «brújulas anatómicas» los ayudan a desarrollar un sentido de la orientación anatómica. Las leyendas ampliadas y los «pasos» detallados permiten «pasear» por los diagramas clave que refuerzan los conceptos esenciales de cada capítulo. Esta edición en castellano incluye 22 láminas centrales en acetato con las diferentes capas del cuerpo humano, los capítulos y las ilustraciones han sido completamente revisados y reflejan la información más actualizada disponible; y nuevos colaboradores se unen al Dr. Patton para mejorar el contenido y aportar perspectivas adicionales al libro.
