Virtual Clinical Excursions Online and Print Workbook for Fundamentals of Nursing: Active Learning for Collaborative Practice

By Barbara L. Yoost, Lynne R. Crawford, Barbara L Yoost MSN RN CNE ANEF, et al.

One of the most complete nursing education learning systems available, Virtual Clinical Excursions guides you through a virtual hospital setting where the patients are real and their conditions are constantly changing. By immersing yourself in a realistic, yet safe, nursing environment, VCE allows you to get acclimated to the routine and rigors of the average clinical rotation where you can conduct a complete assessment of a patient and set priorities for care, collect data, analyze and interpret data, prepare and administer medications, and reach conclusions about complex problems. Each lesson has a textbook reading assignment and activities based on ""visiting"" the patients in the hospital, which provide a perfect environment in which you may ""practice"" what you are learning. Online workbook includes a set of lessons to prepare and guide you through a variety of patient scenarios, which are all connected to your textbook. Physical examination interactions include unique images and assessment findings for each patient scenario. Patient chart provides quick access to vital information such as physician's orders, laboratory reports, patient education, nursing admission, and more, offering a richly detailed portrait of the patient. Electronic patient record houses data from the patient's entire hospital stay and offers the ability to record new data findings. Nurse-client interaction videos depict conversations and situations involving nurses, patients, family members, and hospital staff to help you discern between communications that are ideal and those that need improvement. Updated drug reference includes a comprehensive set of the latest drug monographs to help you make the best clinical judgments involving medication administration.
