Prentice Hall's Real Nursing Skills series offers students the complete foundation for competency in performing clinical nursing skills. The volumes in this series consist of interactive CD-ROMs with comprehensive procedures and rationales demonstrated in hundreds of realistic video clips, animations, illustrations, and photographs. For each skill, students will review: Purpose * Equipment * Preparation * Procedure * Post-Procedure * Expected Outcomes * Documentation * and Variation (if applicable). This is the only skills series designed to help students visualize how to perform clinical nursing skills and understanding the concepts and rationales for each skill. Throughout the videos, students will experience the real-life aspects of: therapeutic communication between the nurse and the client, the client's reaction to invasive skills, and cultural, gender, and age diversity among nurses and clients.



This product accompanies:
Prentice Hall,  Real Nursing Skills 2.0: Skills for the RN, 2/E

  • Over 100 basic nursing skills—Skills sets include Risk Management, Activity and Exercise, Self-Care Facilitation, Immobility Management, Skin and Wound Management. Each skills set is on a separate CD-ROM (total 5 CD-ROMs).

    • Demonstrates difficult-to-visualize skills, such as how to correctly tie a quick-release knot when applying restraints and the technique differences between males and females when inserting and maintaining an indwelling catheter.

    • Users hear first-hand the importance of therapeutic communication to aid in the patient's comfort during the skill.

    • Users watch a real person's reactions to uncomfortable skills, such as the client's tears and gag reflex during the insertion of a nasogastric tube.

    • Users experiencing the daily challenges nurses face in real clinical settings, such as repositioning large patients and working while pregnant, to help them learn problem-solving skills.

  • Endorsed by INACSL—The Board of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulations and Learning has been involved in focus groups and reviewing the videos of these skills throughout the development of this series. INACSL is an exclusive trademark of INASCL. Use of this mark by Pearson Education, Inc. represents INACSL's endorsement of Pearson Education, Inc.'s products on which they appear, but in no way implies any affiliation between the two companies.

    • Most Learning Resource/Skills Lab Coordinators in schools of nursing are members of this association and may be familiar with this product as it was presented at their conference in June 2003.

  • Detailed content—For every skill provides eight segments for complete coverage, including...

    • Purpose describes the goal of the skill.

    • Equipment details the materials necessary to properly perform the skill.

    • Preparation covers everything a nurse needs to be thinking about and preparing to perform the skill correctly. Samples include checking identification bands, raising the bed to prevent injuries to nurses, and important reminders on the rights of drug administration.

    • Procedure showcases a video clip for every skill in the series providing an in-depth, visual demonstration of the procedure from beginning to end.

    • Post Procedure details additional steps to perform to avoid common pitfalls, such as properly disposing of used equipment, and also provides additional visuals and animations to reinforce concepts in the skill presentations.

    • Expected Outcomes explain what the patient and what the nurse should experience as a result of the skill performance.

    • Documentation outlines what the nurse needs to record.

    • Variations for several skills offer additional videos of alternative techniques for procedures when applicable, such as different techniques for measuring body temperature.

  • Rationales—Incorporating rationales for each activity helps users understand why activities are performed for a particular step within each skill.
  • Comprehensive audio glossary—Linked directly from any screen on the CD-ROMs and includes over 300 terms each with a definition and an audio clip of the pronunciation.

    • Helps the user master medical terminology used throughout the CD-ROMs.
