THE TEXTBOOK

The 2nd edition continues its groundbreaking approach to help students make the connections between concepts and patient care to ensure they understand the important relationships between the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of the most common disorders they will encounter in practice. A concise and consistent organization focuses on the ‘need-to-know’, while clear and well-defined nursing care promotes critical thinking and clinical judgment through a unique emphasis on the patient-centered role of the nurse.

ONLINE (DAVIS ADVANTAGE)

Whether teaching in-person or online, this complete, integrated solution aligns seamlessly with the textbook and equips instructors with actionable analytics to track students’ progress, remediate where needed, and facilitate an active learning environment.

LEARN – Personalized Learning

The foundation of the Davis Advantage platform, Personalized Learning, immerses students in an online learning experience tailored to their needs. Students are assessed on their comprehension of key topics from the text, and then are guided through animated mini-lecture videos and dynamic activities to reinforce learning and bring concepts to life.

APPLY – Clinical Judgment

Clinical Judgment is now included in the Davis Advantage platform to elevate students’ critical thinking and clinical reasoning, helping them to build the clinical judgment skills they need to practice safe and effective nursing care and to prepare for the Next Generation NCLEX® with confidence. Progressive case studies featuring real-life, complex clinical situations challenge students to apply knowledge, make informed decisions, and evaluate outcomes.

ASSESS – Quizzing
