Summary

This Study Guide will be an accompanying product to Basic Nursing Fundamentals (978-0-8036-1970-8). It will be an integral part of the students learning experience, pulling information together from the textbook with questions and activities. It will integrate the same theme of the textbook Making the Connection and will help the student apply the content presented in the text and give them the ability to gain solid understanding of key principles, concepts and skills they will need to succeed in their education and career. Each chapter will consist of four basic question/exercise sets, Vocabulary Exercises, Connection Questions, Knowledge Questions, Critical Thinking Questions and Documentation Exercises. The book will also be perforated to allow chapters and sections to be removed and handed in, if desired. An answer key will also be provided in the back of the book giving the answers to the even or odd numbered questions.
