Theories on learning have shown that students learn better if they can see how the content will be
useful to them. They understand better when presented with something concrete in addition to
tackling the abstract definitions and theory.

theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge to encourage each of your students to think like a
nurse. This approach allows you to emphasize either theory or practice as it suits you and your
students.

Everything your students need for learning procedures in clinical or skills lab is in

This is incredibly convenient for your students because there is no need to carry the didactic
material in

 to the lab or to carry the applications-based content in

 to lecture-
type classes. Nor will your students have to wade through the text-heavy content, boxes, and
tables to follow the "think and do" procedures in the lab as presented in other Fundamentals
texts.

illustrates and integrates content throughout the whole volume. The Garcia family and

better understand real-world practice. Core procedures as well as variants and alternatives
are described. Every procedure is appropriately illustrated with photographs, and

teaching are all addressed throughout.
