Easy-to-understand approach explains the complex concepts in each chapter of the Egan's textbook.
Objectives correspond to the objectives and expected learning outcomes in the book.
Interactive learning exercises include labeling, matching, sequencing, image association, fill-in, and more.
Popup view of images enlarges and shows details of heavily labeled illustrations.
Unique! Animations, slideshows, videos with audio narrations communicate difficult concepts in ways that are not easily conveyed with static illustrations.
Unique! Mini Clini Challenges with patient medical data records present case studies to help you apply material to the clinical setting.
Unique! Audio glossary includes both definitions and pronunciations of key terms.
Unique! List of formulas for respiratory care may be accessed and printed out from any screen.
Unique! Links to Activities and Media let you choose to access only activities and/or only media (animations, slide shows, videos).
Easy navigation throughout the course lets you keep track of your progress as you work through a lesson or access additional learning resources.
Post-tests with correct and incorrect rationales end each module. Access is provided to instructors only.
