HEART SOUNDS AND MURMURS: A PRACTICAL GUIDE, 2nd edition, audio cassette included by Barbara Erickson
ISBN: 0-8016-6466-7
An
excellent clinical reference, this useful booklet/tape combination
describes how to identify and interpret lung sounds, then reproduces
these sounds on high-quality audio tape. Case examples demonstrate
application of the lung sounds to patient care plans, and include both
adult and neonatal lung sounds. Now students can hear the sounds they're studying by listening to an audio-cassette included with the book. 29 breath sounds (including neonatal and pediatric examples) have been recorded from actual patients via a stethoscope for added realism. The book addresses the principles of sound generation and analysis, from anatomy and physiology to the equipment used in interpreting lung sounds. Case studies are presented to connect the principles to the real-life practice of lung sound interpretation.

The
Nursing Health Assessment collection of texts may be used independently
or together in order to provide educators with the combination that
best suits their needs. Each component offers an alternative to texts
with approach assessment with a non-integrated focus. This suite of
products uses case studies, supported by technique, to encourage
critical thinking while considering cause and effect issues on the other
systems and on the whole person. This student activities book is a
companion to Nursing Health Assessment: A Critical Thinking, Case
Studies Approach. Organized around the chapters in that book, it
consists of activities to be handed in to the instructor, including ones
on anatomy labelling and anatomy/physiology matching. | |

'I
REALLY like Curren's book. She has indeed given the subject matter
appropriate enthusiasm and balance. Her writing is conversational and
easy to follow. I like the overall presentation of each topic and the
ability of the learner to master the content through exercises and
self-tests...I am strongly considering adopting this text as a
background for these students. - Susan A. Bruce, PhD(c), RN, ANP,
University of Buffalo 'I am very impressed with the text. It is well organized, contains what I consider the essential elements in medication calculations, [and] the photos are excellent. I like the text better than the one we are currently using and would definitely consider changing when the revision is published.' ?I think the text is extremely well organized, complete, and easy to follow.' - Marilyn C. Handley, RN, PhD, University of Alabama 'The project is thorough and comprehensive. There is a very logical flow of concepts and related calculation skills. The content is accurate and I have not found any errors.' ?Student evaluations of this text have been consistently favorable. They like the straight-forward format with highlighting of key concepts [and] multiple opportunities to practice and receive feedback...I do not get student complaints about this text. Many students keep this text for later review and reference.' ?I think that it is the best in current use...At the risk of sounding like a ?cheerleader? for the text, my respect and appreciation for the thought and hard work that has gone into its development has only deepened over time.' - Anna Sanford, MSN, ARNP, BC, AOCN of Northern Michigan University 'The text has several strong points. The first is the clarity of the information. The author breaks down the process of dosage calculations into understandable terms and concepts. The second strength is the review of math. The math review not only reviews the essential skills needed to perform dosage calculations but also makes direct application of those math skills to dosage calculations...I would consider adopting this book.' - Mary Hibbert, RN, MS, Southern Nazarene University School of Nursing (OK) 'When I initially paged through the text I immediately wanted to adopt the text...It was a pleasure to see a text that instructs the way I teach dimensional analysis based dosage calculations. There is now a text that supports my teaching! I have found that many nursing students have difficulty in dosage calculations and are leery of dimensional analysis because they did not know how to start the dosage calculation setup. The student is overwhelmed before ever beginning. By basing setup on the label that is in the final answer it becomes easy for the student to set up the problem and is almost like a game.' ?[The] pictures are clear and easy to read. This makes it easy for the student to immediately start learning...I also loved the practice problems using real syringes, IV bags, etc...Looking forward to the book being available for adoption.' - Lori Stutte, MSN, RN, Cardinal Stritch University (WI) |
