Nursing Skills Online for Clinical Nursing Skills & Techniques with Other and Workbook

by Anne Griffin Perry

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Focusing on the skills that are most labor-intensive to teach and that pose the greatest risk to patient safety, this online course is the perfect tool to help students review and evaluate their competency before performing skills in the clinical setting. Packaged with the parent text, Clinical Nursing Skills & Techniques, 6th edition, this innovative online course consists of 17 modules, with each module comprising several lessons. Each lesson provides a content overview, a variety of interactive exercises, self-check activities, and an exam. In addition to schools of nursing, this is also a valuable and timesaving means of providing periodic training and competency evaluation for nursing staff. This online course is also available separately.

Designed to correlate with Perry: Clinical Nursing Skills & Techniques, 6th edition.

Reading assignments link online content to text.

Activities encourage decision-making, critical thinking, and self-evaluation.

Video clips demonstrating procedures can be viewed from start to finish, pausing and repeating segments as desired.

Step-by-step skill performance guidelines are printable to provide a portable reference.

Extensive glossary of terms includes pronunciation for the most often mispronounced terms.

Module exam scores can beexported to the instructors grade book.
