In this interactive object, learners use their knowledge of postpartum theory and the nursing process to complete a plan of care. The student's plan may be e-mailed to the instructor.
Diagnostic Tests Related to Gastrointestinal Health Alterations
In this drag-and-drop exercise, learners review the names of diagnostic tests and match them with their descriptions and the nursing actions that relate to them.
Learners use peripheral vascular assessment data to examine characteristics of these four conditions: peripheral arterial disease, deep vein thrombosis, chronic venous insufficiency, and acute arterial occlusion. A matching exercise completes the learning object.
In this interactive object, learners assess an accident victim's changing condition and suggest actions that the nurse would take in response to vital signs and lab results regarding the function of Ms. Cindy's kidneys.
Learners answer questions about medication from a game board with the headings "Pituitary," "Thyroid," and "Adrenal." Up to three people can play at one time. Contestants "buzz in" their answers to accumulate points.
Learners consider the Apgar scores for several fictitious newborns. They are then given an Apgar score and proceed to create a situation in which a newborn would receive that rating.
Students read about the importance of the Apgar score in assessing the newborn after delivery. Each sign of the Apgar score is identified with illustrations to help the student recognize the proper rating.
In this interactive exercise, learners review definitions of 26 terms and then test their knowledge in a matching exercise. Only six terms are included in the quiz; however, if the learner clicks “Restart,” more terms appear in random order.
Learners identify various therapeutic interaction strategies to be used when working with children and adolescents to enhance self-esteem, self-concept, self-worth, body image, and coping and communication skills.
In this interactive object, learners read the characteristics of each stage of labor and delivery. They then identify the stages in a multiple-choice assessment.
In this animated object, learners examine the structure and function of intracellular and extracellular fluid. They also read about the most common electrolytes in the body and complete a matching exercise to test their knowledge.
