Summary

Updated to reflect the changes in the 6th edition, this book provides activities to help students learn key content, plus evidence-based practice activities. The companion Study Guide corresponds chapter-by-chapter to the LoBiondo-Wood & Haber textbook. An Introduction and Learning Outcomes at the beginning of each chapter assist students to focus on key content. Each chapter includes a wide variety of Activities to help the student integrate the content. Activities include fill-in-the-blank questions, scramble word exercises, matching questions, multiple-choice questions, crossword puzzles, and challenging critical-thinking questions. Additional Activities refer the student to research studies included in the text and ask the student to critique various aspects of the studies. Web-Based Activities - new to the 6th-edition Study Guide - send the student online to review and critically evaluate Internet-based information. Answers to the Activities, located in the back, facilitate self-study and provide the student with immediate feedback. Post-Tests at the end of each chapter allow faculty to check student mastery of the content. Answers are provided in the Instructor's Electronic Resource and on the Evolve instructor resources. For the proposed 6th edition, the Study Guide will be revised and updated to reflect the new chapters, evidence-based focus, and content of the updated textbook. One "Evidence-Based Practice Activity" will be added for most chapters, and these activities will be signalled by the addition of the same "EBP" icon used in the textbook. The Answer Key will be pulled out of the Appendix and will be highlighted for easy reference with a bleed tab along the edge of the page.
