520 _a"This book will provide nurses working in acute settings with a comprehensive resource for caring for people with a learning disability. The first chapter explores the nature of learning disability and highlights the specific health care needs of people with a learning disability. It summarises the current evidence-base, considers the key factors that influence the healthcare process, and stresses the importance of person-centred approaches. The book then takes the reader through the process of healthcare, through pre-admission assessment, care planning, intervention and treatment, liaison and discharge planning, highlighting key areas of healthcare need at each stage. This is followed by chapters on the key aspects of Communication, Understanding Behaviour, and the often difficult area of Consent. The book finishes with a chapter exploring the ethical and political aspects of care, the changing face of health services, interdisciplinary approaches, potential new roles and services that could be developed, and also highlights areas for future research.The book is relevant to the care of both children and adults with a learning disability and case vignettes are used throughout to illustrate situations. The book also includes reference to a research project looking at pre-admission assessment for people with a learning disability conducted by one of the authors" --Provided by publisher.
