Riassunto

Simplifying complex information, this workbook focuses on the most important concepts in Egan's Fundamentals of Respiratory Care, 9th Edition. It makes learning easy by using real-life examples, humor, and a wide range of activities. By highlighting key points, it helps you answer three basic questions: What do I need to know? Why do I need to know it? How will I use it?

• An understandable and engaging approach breaks down essential information into manageable chunks.
• Chapter overviews introduce topics and explain how and why each applies to the practice of respiratory care.
• A review of chapter objectives ensures that you understand the primary concepts from the text.
• NBRC-style review questions help you prepare for the CRT and the written portion of the RRT exam.
• Vocabulary review exercises include matching, fill-in-the-blank exercises and crossword puzzles to test your mastery of key terms and acronyms.
• Case studies ask you to apply concepts to the real world.
• Critical-thinking questions ask you to analyze potential rewards and pitfalls in applying your knowledge to a clinical environment.
• Web links are suggested for further research and study.
• Answers to all questions/activities, with references to the textbook and rationales, are included on Evolve Student Resources.
