Description
Critical thinking can be the difference between keeping patients safe and putting them in harm's way. But as a student nurse, you may find that mastering these skills is challenging, and you may lack confidence in assessing a patient's health.
Case studies are a common, beneficial learning approach, but some are more effective than others. Traditionally, they present information upfront, with the patient's status predetermined. But that isn't realistic, as a patient's health can often take an unexpected turn. Unfolding case studies provide new information over time, teaching you to think critically and apply what you've learned in nursing school to real-life situations you'll face on the job.
This second edition includes three new chapters providing case studies on approaching the patient interview, assessing vital signs, and assessing mental status.
