This document is a comprehensive guide for instructors to use in teaching the final phase of the practical nursing program. This revised volume contains information related to medical-surgical nursing, mental health nursing, and career success. The section on medical-surgical nursing is composed of many units, dealing with the following subjects: pediatric nursing (which has also been incorporated into many of the other units); organizational and management skills; oncological nursing; and the assessment and management of diseases and disorders of bodily systems and organs. The standardized unit format includes eight basic components: performance objectives, suggested activities for the teacher, information sheets, assignment sheets, job sheets, supplements and transparency masters, tests, and answers to tests and assignment sheets. Depending on the specific objectives, there may or may not be supplements, transparency masters, assignment sheets, or job sheets included in the unit of instruction. All of the unit components focus on measurable and observable learning outcomes. Units are designed for use in more than one lesson or class period of instruction. (KC)
