,INTRODUCTION
This Instructor’s Guide was designed for today’s faculty member who is trying to meet
the learning needs of today’s students. Whereas each chapter of the text provides you
with stimulating discussion points in the Afterthoughts section, the Instructor’s Guide has
been expanded to include many interactive activities suitable for both ground and
electronic delivery. Whether you are using this material as part of a dedicated course or
within many courses, the content will come to life for the students when more activities
are included in the course plan. For that reason, the Instructor’s Guide offers materials
geared toward the content of each chapter of the text. Specifically, for each chapter, the
Guide presents some practical teaching tips for teaching methods that work well with that
chapter’s material. The tips are followed by specific case examples and discussion points,
intended to illuminate and inspire discussion on the substance of that chapter.
Interspersed in Part I are “Off the Books” boxes, designed as suggestions for more
untraditional ways to teach the materials. The Guide also features a test bank of multiple-
choice and short-answer test questions geared toward the content of each chapter of the
text.
This test bank was written with as many questions at the application and analysis
level as possible, just like the NCLEX-RN. You’ll find that the answers aren’t always in
the book but arise from your discussions and include clinical scenarios that should
become familiar to students. The important point is to teach your students critical
thinking and clinical reasoning, so if you find these questions to be difficult and not
verbatim from the text, you are correct. The newer NCLEX-RN style of alternative
items—Fill in the lank and Select all that apply—has been included as well. For more
