Summary

Virtual Clinical Excursions is a workbook/CD-ROM package that guides you through a multi-floor virtual hospital to provide you with a hands-on learning experience. You'll meet a series of patients at Canyon View Regional Medical Center, each with their own diverse health problems, medical histories, families, cultural backgrounds, and personalities. Via the workbook exercises, you'll actively interact with and assess these patients...access and review their charts, lab data, and medication administration records...monitor daily changes when their nurses take their vital signs and perform a variety of tests...formulate nursing diagnoses...and plan interventions. Essentially, you can practice making all of the key clinical nursing decisions...on your own schedule and at your convenience. The enclosed CD-ROM package gives you access to the virtual hospital, while the workbook guides you through the Pediatrics Floor, Surgery Department, Intensive Care Unit, and Medical-Surgical/Telemetry Floor. You'll learn communication, documentation, assessment, critical thinking, and other essential skills. You'll also be called on to collect information, make decisions, and set priorities. Each lesson has a reading assignment from Medical-Surgical Nursing: Assessment and Management of Clinical Problems, as well as activities that call on you to "visit" the patients in Canyon View Regional Medical Center. The workbook exercises provide a perfect environment in which you can practice what you are learning from the textbook. Book jacket.
