The Workbook for Pilbeam’s Mechanical Ventilation is a user-friendly resource that actively engages students in studying key concepts from the core text and prepares them for the credentialing exam. Each exercise aligns with the text's objectives, which are outlined at the beginning of each chapter, ensuring a focused learning experience.
• Learning activities include key terms crossword puzzles, critical-thinking exercises, NBRC-style multiple-choice questions, case study analyses, waveform and ventilation data analyses, fill-in-the-blank and labeling tasks, and short answer questions, all of which promote diverse self-assessment across recall, application, and analysis levels, aiding in content remediation. • Critical Thinking questions present "real-life" scenarios, prompting students to apply learned concepts and reinforce the complexities of mechanical ventilation through simulated clinical practice. • Workbook answers are accessible on Evolve.
