Editorial Reviews

Part of a six-video series that examines essential issues affecting homecare nursing, this "Professional Issues" programme deals with legal and ethica lissues. The other two "Professional Issues" programmes cover strategies for adapting nursing practice when moving from the hospital to home care, and the role of the home health nurse in managing managed care. The three "Clinical Issues" programmes teach assessment skills and techniques essential to ensuring optimal care to clients in their homes, covering the assessment of older adult patients, pain management and mental health assessment. Together, these videos demonstrate the hands-on strategies and interventions that homecare nurses can use to enhance and improve the quality of care they deliver. Each programme features "bookend" interviews with homecare nurses who speak candidly of their experience as it relates each topic. Live vignettes with active dialogue demonstrate key points using homecare scenes. These videos are also available individually or as a set of six with an instructor's manual.
