UNIQUE! Critical Thinking Models in each clinical chapter show how to apply the nursing process and critical thinking to make clinical decisions.Over 30 procedural guidelines provide streamlined, step-by-step instructions for performing basic skills.Unexpected Outcomes and Related Interventions for each skill alert you to possible complications and appropriate nursing actions.
Over 50 nursing skills include illustrated, step-by-step instructions in a two-column format - with rationales for each step.UPDATED Evidence-Based Practice boxes in every chapter include a PICO question - the Problem, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome - and summarize a research study along with its application to nursing practice.Evidence-Based Practice chapter shows how nursing research helps in determining best practices.
Delegation Considerations clarify which nursing tasks can and cannot be delegated. UNIQUE! Building Competency boxes summarize QSEN competencies, each with a clinical situation followed by several open-ended questions designed to help you understand and apply these core competencies. Review questions in every chapter test your retention of key concepts, with answers and rationales in the book and on the Evolve companion website at least four of these questions are alternate format. If you plan any program adventure than this book, like "SQL for Mere Mortals" should be read - and re-read. The result was excluding all the classes I could not taken or had already taken rather than including all the classes I could take. It assists you to understand that though you can design code to run in any order - that minimizing steps and identifying which is more important - either telling you quickly what is NOT happening or what IS failing rather than trying every possible solution reminds me of an algorithm I wrote in Access/SQL to tell me what classes I could take next if they were offered. I program to automate, and it's overview of how do design circuits based on what your end goal is and how to use simplification is a good step into programming algorithms that do what they do most efficiently - balancing the cost of time, and money - and the return on investment in terms of time saving by designing the most efficient circuit using tools such as VHDL to describe what your goals is. If you want to more than use computers if you want to thinks logically how to break down a problem then this book is a good foundation for you. It's a great primer of the logic behind hardware and technology.
