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. Volume 1 emphasizes the relationship between 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. Each chapter starts with Learning Outcomes - a checklist of what your students should know once they've completed the chapter. Meet Your Patient, also at the opening of each chapter, introduces your students to the patient they will follow and whose experiences illustrate the principles presented throughout the chapter, thus capturing their interest with real-life scenarios. Chapters are divided into two sections. Theoretical Knowledge - Knowing Why and Practical Knowledge - Knowing How reflect how information is communicated in real life and enable your students to focus on just the "why" or the "how." This is where the text's conversational tone is truly evident - the authors sound as if they are talking to your students rather than lecturing them. Headings (often phrased as questions that highlight students' concerns about the information), bulleted lists, boxes, and figures break up the text and make it more visually engaging. Care Plans are diagramed for visual learning as Care Maps. Links That Help Your Students Think Like Nurses The didactic material that you'll cover in your classroom is contained in Volume 1: Theory, Concepts and Applications. The content of this volume is systematically linked to Volume 2: Thinking and Doing in which the critical thinking introduced in Volume 1 continues to be applied, this time to a single unifying case study, to chapter content, and to the clinical procedures that are the core of Volume 2.
