For Critical Care Nursing Course, Medical-Surgical Nursing Course or Skills Laboratory Course or Practicum in undergraduate nursing programs.

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.

  • Covers 25 critical care nursing skills—Skills sets include Crisis Management, Elimination Management, Respiratory Management, Neurological Management, and Tissue Perfusion Management on CD-ROM (total 2 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.

    • 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.
