STUDENT EXPERIENCE

Davis Advantage uses a unique and proven approach across a Learn-Apply-Assess continuum to engage students and help them make the connections to key topics. Aligned with their textbook, this innovative online solution meets each student’s individual needs with Personalized Learning Plans that reflect their learning styles and areas of strength and weakness.

Building a student-centered and student-driven approach

Each Personalized Learning assignment begins with a Pre-Assessment quiz that gauges the student’s comprehension of the content. Topic by topic, students then work through their assignments by watching videos and completing dynamic activities to reinforce learning and practice applying their knowledge.

Animated mini-lecture videos connect with all learning styles to make must-know concepts more relatable and easier to understand.

!

After completing each video and activity, a Post-Assessment quiz evaluates mastery of the content within the topic. Each student’s results feed into their Personalized Learning Plan, documenting their progress through each topic and highlighting areas for additional study.

Preparing for Next Gen NCLEX®

Clinical Judgment elevates students’ clinical reasoning by challenging them to think critically and make informed decisions that achieve the best patient outcomes. Real-world case studies mirror the complexities they will encounter in a variety of healthcare settings, 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.

Each case study presents all the information students need to assess the situation and the client data; synthesize their knowledge and experience; prioritize and take action; and evaluate outcomes.

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.

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. ! Case Study Topics

1. Fluids and Fluid Imbalances 2. Shock 3. COPD 4. MI and Complications 5. Diabetes 6. Renal Failure 7. Postoperative Care 8. Multi Drug-Resistant Organisms 9. Leukemia 10. Stroke 11. Burns 12. Cirrhosis

You answered 2 out of 6 questions correctly.

Complex questions in the new Next Gen formats align with the cognitive areas of the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model, requiring careful analysis, synthesis of the data, and multi-step thinking.

Each question identifies the cognitive skills practiced according to the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model and includes page references to the text for further remediation.

Test-taking tips provide important context for the higher levels of knowledge and understanding that underlie clinical judgment. They also offer strategies for how to consider the structure of each question type when answering.
