Description
Description
Critical thinking can be the difference between keeping patients safe and putting them in harm's way. But as a student nurse, you may find that mastering these skills is challenging, and you may lack confidence in assessing a patient's health.
Case studies are a common, beneficial learning approach, but some are more effective than others. Traditionally, they present information upfront, with the patient's status predetermined. But that isn't realistic, as a patient's health can often take an unexpected turn. Unfolding case studies provide new information over time, teaching you to think critically and apply what you've learned in nursing school to real-life situations you'll face on the job.
This second edition includes three new chapters providing case studies on approaching the patient interview, assessing vital signs, and assessing mental status.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"This is an extraordinary and contemporary learning resource for all nursing students and faculty. This book is logically organized and enhances the student learning experience by explaining and describing concepts that guide students in the application and retention of nursing knowledge, assessing various health conditions across the life span. The illustrations teach students the importance of detailed interviewing, data collection, and how to think through simple to complex nursing assessments when caring for diverse populations."
"This remarkable book prepares the nursing student for the rigors of clinical practice by integrating anatomy, physiology, health assessment, clinical presentation, and laboratory data in a compact, clean, yet comprehensive way. The ease of reading the 16 chapters cannot be overemphasized. This notable book will amplify essential 'knowing' for the newest to enter our profession. Quite simply, this little gem delivers!"
-Linda Honan, PhD, CNS-BC, FAAN, ANEF Professor Emerita, Yale University School of Nursing
