A variety of exercises (such as IV calculations or patient teaching) are integrated within each chapter to reinforce the learning of often-difficult concepts. Includes an array of worksheets on the companion Evolve website (such as drugs, charting, or drug and dosage calculations) to provide practice tools for the student. Each chapter concludes with multiple-choice review questions to test students' knowledge of the content within that chapter. Provides a Competency Check Sheet with standards for performance and to meet competency-based education requirements.
