Tailored to align to the content in the Giddens's Concepts for Canadian Nursing Practice text, this first-of-its-kind study guide is designed to enhance your students’ understanding of concept-based nursing. Engaging learning exercises and case study worksheets with interactive questions help students build critical thinking and clinical judgement skills. Self-assessment tools and comprehensive preparatory examinations offer questions that mirror the structure and content of those on the NCLEX-RN and REx-PN/CPNRE exams. An essential part of a successful concept-based curriculum, this study guide challenges students to apply the concepts learned and prepares them to excel in their nursing studies and in clinical practice.
-
- Case studies explore real-world patient scenarios with accompanying critical thinking questions designed to enhance concept identification, application, and exam preparation
- Interactive questions help strengthen students’ concept mastery and clinical judgement skills, preparing them to apply concepts effectively in exams and clinical practice
- Examination preparation tests at the end of the study guide offer valuable review and practice with question structures that reflect the actual NCLEX-RN® and REx-PN/CPNRE exams
- Perforated, chapter-by-chapter worksheets include case studies that contain a patient introduction, presenting information and concerns, nurse identification of concept-related issues, and potential nursing interventions
- Chapter-by-chapter answer key at the back of the guide facilitates effective self-study, allowing students to check their answers and evaluate their progress
- Content reflects the organization of the Giddens's text to provide a seamless and cohesive learning experience
