Cases are described in depth to foster a comprehensive learning experience and to facilitate inductive and deductive critical reasoning. Each follows a template that encompasses the context for the case, chief patient complaints and history along with physical assessment findings, diagnostic evaluation, interventions, evaluation of care and outcome, and references for additional information. An accompanying teaching guide aids instructors in accelerating critical thinking.
