These high-tech tapes cover state-of-the-art procedures and serve as a perfect complement to the four previous Advanced Clinical Skills programs. Nurses actually see the devices in use and get the step-by-step instructions they need to retain and apply this vital information. To help develop critical thinking skills, the tapes include a detailed perspective on troubleshooting, plus recognition and management of complications. Rationales for intervention are included so nurses will know when to act, and why.
To provide patients with as much support as possible, these videos include patient/family education. This unique feature gives patients and families peace of mind and helps to meet the JCAHO mandate for individualized patient education.
Competency Checklist Software is included to help manage and document competency skills. This flexible software can be customized to fit your institution's unique program needs. It also helps you meet JCAHO requirements.
