Chapter Reading: Begin by reading the chapter content in your eText. The eText that accompanies this MyLab includes special features designed to enhance student learning, such as ​audio reviews and insights, dynamic animations and ​several interactive review sections and activities throughout each chapter.

Chapter Review Audio: Listen to author, Dan Limmer, review the chapter's key concepts.

Pretest: Once you've read the chapter, check your understanding by taking a Chapter Pretest.

Homework: After you complete the Chapter Pretest, your personalized Homework Assignment will be unlocked.

The homework will only cover objectives you did not master in the pretest. If you get stuck, use the study aids to the left of the homework problems. You will not be able to proceed until you’ve earned at least an 80% on your homework.

Chapter Test: Each chapter test has two (2) attempts. Students must score an 80% or better to move to the next chapter. If you do not pass your first attempt, scroll to the bottom of the score page and click on the study plan before retaking the chapter test.  If you do not achieve an 80% on your second attempt, you will be locked out of the course until you email the address above and request to talk to an instructor. They will go over the chapter with you over the phone prior to resetting for additional attempts.

Study Plan: What is your overall mastery in the course? Check the study plan to see which objectives you still haven’t mastered and use the "View Your Progress" tab to see a chart of your overall mastery. Then, use the “practice” button to take a mini-homework and “quiz me” button to take a mini-quiz on that objective to earn mastery.

Decision Making Cases: The Decision Making Cases associated with this book will allow you to gather patient data and make informed decisions about how to respond to a given real-life scenario. Your instructor may choose to use the Decision Making Cases as an in-class exercise and/or as homework assignments. If assigned for homework, the Decision Making Cases will be unlocked after you complete the Chapter Homework for the relevant chapters.
