Summary

Dynamic and engaging, this workbook/CD-ROM package for Nursing Care of Children: Principles and Practice, 2nd Edition guides users through a multi-floor virtual hospital in a hands-on learning experience. Complementing core reading assignments and activities presented in the parent text, lessons in the workbook provide a perfect opportunity for users to practice what they are learning in a realistic, virtual environment. To further enhance the lesson, the CD-ROM features built-in testing with NCLEX-RN type questions and immediate feedback of clinical knowledge, priorities, and communication. Meaningful, real-world problems place users in nursing scenarios where they can set priorities for care, collect data, analyze and interpret data, and reach conclusions about complex problems within a health-illness transition. The highly-engaging format encourages active learning and provides opportunities to identify information to collect and process data for evidence-based patient care; work with data entry and retrieval screens; optimize use of available information resources; understand hospital information systems; manage information for decision-making; and maintain and improve core computing skills. Lessons in the workbook complement the content in the textbook and guide the student through the multi-floor virtual hospital. The CD-ROM offers users the opportunity to visit each patient and access realistic information essential for patient care, including: charts, medical administration records, electronic patient records, video streaming of patient dialogue with nurses, and other related materials. The multi-floor virtual hospital has content on Patient Care, Patient Records, Case Conference, and Clinical Review to engage the user in the subject matter and allow for further exploration. The virtual hospital also includes a Pediatric Floor and a Well-Child Clinic with content on Physical Examinations, Parent Interviews, Developmental Surveillance, Anticipatory Guidance, Patient Records: (Admissions Form, Birth & Health History, Allergies, Immunization Record, Well-Child Visits, Sick-Child Visits, Developmental Surveillance, Growth Charts, Hearing & Vision Screening, Laboratory Results, and Referral Forms), and a Clinical Review.
