Preface
Welcome to the instructor’s guide for Hartman’s Nursing Assistant Care: Long-Term Care! We want to
be your teaching partner, and we have tried to make this the most useful instructor’s guide we have
ever written. If you have suggestions for improving it, please let us know. If you teach topics not cov-
ered in the book, call us and we will do something about it!
Like the textbook and the workbook, the instructor’s guide is organized around learning objectives,
which should make teaching the material much simpler. We have included the textbook and work-
book page numbers to make it easier for you to assign readings and exercises to your students.
Appendix A contains all of the transparency masters that we have created for this course, and Ap-
pendix B contains the handouts. There are exams for all chapters located in Appendix C. Appen-
dix D contains the answers for each chapter’s exams. Appendix E contains a second set of chapter
exams for each chapter, and Appendix F has the answers to those exams. Appendix G contais a final
exam and Appendix H has the answers to that exam. Appendix I contains a shorter, additional final
exam, and Appendix J contains the answers to that exam. Appendix K contains the workbook an-
swer key and the answer key for the chapter exam. Appendix L contains the answers to the chapter
review questions.
