This new breed of workbook supporting Mosby and W.B. Saunders' most prominent nursing texts contains an extraordinary new CD-ROM featuring a virtual hospital ward with five highly individual patients. Users can review their records, examine them, formulate nursing diagnoses, and plan appropriate nursing interventions. Each workbook lesson has a reading assignment from McCance & Huether: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY:THE BIOLOGICAL BASIS FOR DISEASE IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN, 4TH EDITION, as well as activities that involve observing and interacting with the patients in the virtual hospital. The result in a uniquely "hands-on" way to master essential nursing knowledge!
