Interactive Case Studies for Maternity and Pediatric Nursing Care Printed Access Card

This innovative case-based learning resource allows nursing students to immerse themselves in realistic, fully interactive, virtual patient care scenarios to apply their knowledge and hone their nursing skills. The Learning Lab provides twenty online case studies that simulate the duties and activities of professional maternity and pediatric nurses working with a care team to help an expectant mother and fetus, a new mother and newborn, or child with specific health concerns. Cases introduce students to a range of diverse clients and conditions, providing virtual interatctions ranging from seemingly routine check ups to serious health emergencies requiring hospitalization.These interactive cases are staged in a variety of realistic settings, including private health offices, community clinics and hospitals, allowing students to interact with virtual families from different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Within each highly realistic scenario, students can observe client interview videos, review lab results, interact with an electronic health record, develop treatment priorities, provide guidance, and witness the impact of their decisions. Pre-tests and post-tests help assess student understanding of condition information, client care, and the nursing process. Cases are versatile enough for use in individual study, group assignments, or classroom projects, and integrated learning tools and reference material allow students to reinforce key concepts at every step. Designed to stimulate critical thinking and provide realistic, consistent learning experiences unavailable in actual clinical settings, LEARNING LAB FOR MATERNITY AND PEDIATRIC NURSING CARE, 1st Edition, is an invaluable resource for today's maternity and pediatric nursing students.
