Inhaltsangabe:

Introduction to Health Care is a college level introductory book for learners entering health care programs or for those that think they may be interested in a career in health care. The content covers a wide variety of topics that are shared by all health care professions. Twenty six chapters are organized into the following nine units: health care today, language of health care, human body, personal and workplace safety, behaviors for success, communication, health care skills, business of caring, and securing and maintaining employment. A key feature of this book is its emphasis on teaching learners to develop thinking skills as opposed to simply learning sets of facts. A problem solving model is introduced in Chapter 1 that includes how to assess a situation, consider alternatives, choose an appropriate alternative, evaluate the results, and revise as needed. How to think on the job is continually incorporated into the text. To further reinforce, a recurring element is included called Thinking It Through in which learners must problem-solve workplace examples using the principles found in each chapter. A thinking application problem has been added at the end of each chapter.
