Institution:

North Central Missouri College

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed to provide the basic orientation and necessary skills which will enable the practicing Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) to be trained as a Restorative Nurse Assistant (RNA). The shift in emphasis from maintenance care to restorative care in the long-term care setting has created a need from trained paraprofessionals who are competent in the special knowledge and skills to assist in therapeutic rehabilitation as prescribed by the physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy consultants. This course addresses the expanded role and places emphasis on increased interactions with therapy consultants, communication and monitoring responsibilities. The philosophy of rehabilitation as well as the concept of the RNA as a role model and resource person for all members of the staff is emphasized. (DD)
