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 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.
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.
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 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.
The Nurse's Role in Medically Monitored Detoxification
