Instructors Praise This Approach
Focusing on the principles of the equipment and then concluding with in-depth discussion and
practical solutions to complex problems, this focus on the clinical application of patient care
enhances key critical thinking skills with clear explanations of the features of the equipment as
well as the way it functions. Reviewers said...
•
“I like the approach of this book. By focusing on principles of patient care, the authors
have made the equipment being discussed more relevant to the student as they proceed
through clinical education. I believe this approach will foster the critical thinking skills that
are so vital for the successful respiratory therapist to possess.”
•
“Due to the ever changing look of equipment this is a great approach. If you know the
principle behind the equipment you can work any of them.”
•
“The authors have done well with their goal to focus on principles. The reading is simple
and easy to understand without leaving out key components necessary to explain the
features of the equipment as well as the way it functions.”
