Critical Thinking: an Interactive Tool for Learning Medical-Surgical Nursing - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

-- This text/workbook combo provides the theoretical framework to help students learn the critical thinking process using medical-surgical case studies-- Case studies are similar to real patient situations but with events arranged in a chronological sequence: case studies are presented with incomplete information in order to stimulate critical thinking-- Guidelines for Preparation for Class Assignments is a tool that gives students a way to master content comprehensively and systematically through exploration of all aspects of caregiving situations, including physical, emotional, social and cultural, and environmental considerations-- A laminated card with the Guidelines for Preparation for Class Assignments is also included with each book-- Learning outcome goals open each chapter and allow students to develop reasoning skills and creatively plan nursing care based on case studies-- "Classroom Activities" allow students as a group to anticipate, evaluate, and plan care for the patient as his/her situation changes throughout the course of the illness-- Gordon's Functional Health Patterns used to organize nursing care-- Photographs used to show various social, cultural, and emotional aspects of the individual's situation, challenging the student's previously determined assumptions-- Perforated pages allow students to write in answers to case studies and hand them in as assignments
