Présentation de l'éditeur
In every chapter, you'll first explore the theoretical knowledge behind the concepts, principles, and rationales. Then, you'll study the practical knowledge involved in the processes; and finally, you'll learn the skills and procedures. Designed for all learning styles, the text, electronic study guide, and a wealth of interactive resources work together to create a multimedia-rich learning experience for traditional and non-traditional students. It explores the full-spectrum nursing model of thinking, doing, and caring and reinforces the model with critical-thinking questions in every chapter. It follows a multi-cultural, multi-generational, Asian-American family case study that brings nursing theory to life. It presents additional case studies in each chapter that explain the nurse's role in today's complex healthcare system. It promotes critical thinking with headers presented as questions. It uses informational learning boxes to break complex topics into manageable sections, perfect for chapter review now and exam prep later. It poses critical-thinking questions that challenge you to "think like nurse' and prepare for professional practice. It promotes effective care planning with care plans and concept care maps as well as NANDA, NIC, and NOC. It describes the research evidence related to the chapter topic and encourages further study. It includes QSEN competencies throughout.
