Because they are in direct and constant contact with those they care for, techniques for infection control are critical skills for nursing assistants to master. Learning and practicing effective infection control skills will help the nursing assistant prevent the spread of microorganisms that can cause infectious diseases, and protect the health and safety of all those they care for, as well as co-workers and themselves. This program teaches new nursing assistants the important skills necessary for controlling the spread of infectious disease.

Those primarily confined to a bed-who can no longer change position and move easily-are not only less comfortable, but can have decreased blood circulation and are at risk for the development of pressure ulcers. To reduce these risks and improve resident health, the nursing assistant must master the skills needed for moving and positioning the resident in bed using techniques that protect both the resident and the nursing assistant.
Nursing Assistant program on moving and turning skills has been completely revised and updated, yet continues to provide clear descriptions and demonstrations of common and important techniques for safely moving and positioning a resident in bed.
Keeping a resident's mouth, teeth, gums and tongue healthy is a vital component of maintaining the resident's overall personal hygiene and good health. Poor mouth care can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath and even a lack of appetite. Oral care should be provided on a daily basis to all those who are in any form of nursing care. The nursing assistant must know how to competently provide oral hygiene as part of the effort to promote overall resident health.
