“Davis Advantage is easy to access, with pertinent information. Having students prep before class is essential to learning. Students want to know what is necessary to know. A clear, consistent format is helpful for them.”

—Suzanne Carlson, RN, MSN, Instructor, Southwestern Community College

Pre-Assessment Questions feature single answer, multiple-choice, and select-all-that-apply formats.

Assignments in Davis Advantage are mapped to a specific chapter in the book. Students can read from their printed texts or click the eBook button to be taken directly to that chapter in their free, integrated eBooks

Each assignment begins with a quiz that gauges the student’s comprehension and retention of the content within that topic.

Pre-Assessment Results quickly identify strengths and weaknesses using a thumbs up, thumbs down approach. Thumbs up indicates competency, while thumbs down signals an area of weakness that requires further study.

#3 Interactive Learning

Topic by topic, students work through their Personalized Learning assignments by watching animated mini-lecture videos and completing dynamic activities that reinforce key concepts and allow them to apply their knowledge.

#4 Post-Assessments

After completing each video and activity, a Post-Assessment quiz evaluates mastery of the content within the topic.

Interactive learning activities check students’ understanding and expand their knowledge.

Comprehensive rationales help students understand why their responses are correct or incorrect.

Videos are animated mini-lectures. They present key concepts in a way that connects with all learning styles and makes content more relatable and understandable.

#5 Real-Time Results

Each student’s results feed into their Personalized Learning Plan, documenting their progress through each topic and highlighting areas for additional study. Once they complete an assignment successfully, students can return to review any topic for additional practice or exam prep.

Post-Assessment Results provide students with immediate feedback.

The Student Dashboard provides quick snapshots of performance, time spent, participation, and strengths and weaknesses at a glance.

Personalized Learning Plans let students track their progress through each step of the learning process, making it easy for them to identify areas for additional study.

#1 Complex Patient Cases

DID YOU KNOW?

APPLY

89% of instructors surveyed struggle with determining the best way to teach clinical judgment skills.

Preparing for Next Gen NCLEX®

Clinical Judgment elevates students’ critical thinking and clinical reasoning to the next level, helping them to build the skills they need to practice safe and effective nursing care and to prepare for the Next Generation NCLEX® with confidence.

H H H H H

“The Clinical Judgment activities have created an excellent opportunity to engage students in clinical reasoning and clinical judgment as well as introduce NGN style question styles and format early in the nursing program.

—Jennifer T., Instructor, Maryville University

Real-world cases mirror the complex clinical challenges students will encounter in a variety of healthcare settings and call on them to think critically and make the right decisions to achieve the best outcomes for their patients.

Each case study begins with a patient photograph and a brief introduction to the scenario.

The Patient Chart displays tabs for History and Physical Assessment, Nurses’ Notes, Vital Signs, and Laboratory Results. As the case progresses, the chart expands and populates with additional data.

#2 Next Gen NCLEX® Experience

Six-question, progressive case studies align with the new Next Gen NCLEX® formats and the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model, requiring careful analysis, synthesis of the data, and multi-step thinking.

Extended drag-and-drop questions use two approaches. The first requires students to identify the correct selections and then place them in order by priority.

Grid/Matrix questions require students to make a series of decisions across multiple rows. The questions may be single select (with one correct option in each row) or multiple select (with more than one correct option in each row).

Cloze questions walk students through a two-part statement and ask them to select the missing related elements from drop-down lists to complete the statement.

Extended multiple response questions are like the current NCLEX’s “Select-All-that-Apply,” but are more complex, featuring up to ten answer choices/distractors.

The second is similar to standard drag-and-drop, but includes more options to select from.

Enhanced hot spot questions require students to review chart details (such as the Nurse’s Notes or Laboratory Results) and highlight relevant, concerning, or supporting data.

#3 Detailed Feedback

Students are guided through an analysis of their responses that includes detailed rationales. The feedback encourages them to consider what data is important and how to prioritize the information, while reinforcing thought patterns that result in safe and effective nursing care.

ASSESS

Personalized Learning Plans give students an at-a-glance view of their competency on Clinical Judgment cases, as well as the option to review completed assignments.

DID YOU KNOW?

91% of students who received an A in their class used Quizzing multiple times a week

COMING FALL 2022!

Next Gen NCLEX® stand-alone item types in Quizzing*

High-quality questions, including more difficult question types, like select-all-that-apply challenge students to think at higher cognitive levels.

§ 25 new, stand-alone questions follow bowtie and trend formats to better prepare students for these individual item types on the NGN.

§ Bowtie questions address all six steps of the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model. They provide 5 spaces for drag-and-drop answers to form the shape of a ‘bowtie’. To answer the question, students must drag-and-drop responses into the blank answer targets.

§ Trend questions address multiple steps of the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model by asking students to review patient information over time to identify trends in the data.

Comprehensive rationales provide students with immediate feedback for on-the-spot remediation that explains why their responses are correct or incorrect. Page-specific references direct them to relevant content in their text, while Test-Taking Tips improve exam skills.

Bowtie and trend questions are individual, stand-alone items that present a portion of a patient’s chart and measure one or more of the 6 cognitive skills of the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model within the single item.
