Each lesson has a textbook reading assignment and activities based on "visiting" the patients in the hospital - providing a perfect environment to "practice" what you are learning. Online workbook includes a set of lessons to prepare and guide you through a variety of patient scenarios, which are all connected to your textbook. Physical examination interactions include unique images and assessment findings for each patient scenario. Patient chart provides quick access to vital information such as physician's orders, laboratory reports, patient education, nursing admission, and more, offering a richly detailed portrait of the patient. Electronic patient record houses data from the patient's entire hospital stay and offers the ability to record new data findings. Nurse-client interaction videos depict conversations and situations involving nurses, patients, family members, and hospital staff to help you discern between communications that are ideal and those that need improvement. Updated drug reference includes a comprehensive set of the latest drug monographs to help you make the best clinical judgments involving medication administration. NEW! Online format enables you to access Virtual Clinical Excursions from any PC or MAC with an internet connection. NEW!
