APPLYING—Case Studies                                                                                                                

Online case studies for each body system let students exercise their clinical reasoning skills by applying what they’ve learned in the textbook to real-world scenarios. Each online case begins with a chief complaint, a brief patient history, and key assessment data. Each case is then followed by 4-5 questions that test the student’s knowledge of concepts such as the appropriate prescription for the patient, recommendations for patient monitoring, and the ideal patient education. Instructors are provided with model answers for each of the questions associated with the case.
