STUDENT EXPERIENCE

Davis Advantage uses a unique and proven approach across a Learn-Apply-Assess-Simulate continuum to engage students and help them make the connections to key topics. Aligned with their textbook, this innovative online solution meets each student’s individual needs with Personalized Learning Plans that reflect their learning styles and areas of strength and weakness.

LEARN Engaging today’s student beyond the book

Each Personalized Learning assignment begins with a Pre-Assessment quiz that gauges the student’s comprehension of the content. Topic by topic, students then work through their assignments by watching videos and completing dynamic activities to reinforce learning and practice applying their knowledge.

Animated mini-lecture videos connect with all learning styles to make must-know concepts more relatable and easier to understand.

“My grades have improved; my understanding about topics is much clearer; and overall, it has been the total package...” —Hannah, Student, Judson University

6

After completing each video and activity, a Post-Assessment quiz evaluates mastery of the content within the topic. Each student’s results feed into their Personalized Learning Plan, documenting their progress through each topic and highlighting areas for additional study. !

Interactive learning activities check students’ understanding and expand their knowledge.

Comprehensive rationales help students understand why their responses are correct or incorrect.

The Student Dashboard provides an at-a-glance look into performance, time spent, and participation for all assignments. It also provides a snapshot of each student’s strengths and the topic areas where they need to focus their study time.

APPLY Developing clinical judgment skills with Next Gen NCLEX ® cases Clinical Judgment elevates students’ clinical reasoning to the next level by challenging them to think critically and make informed decisions that achieve the best patient outcomes. Real-world case studies mirror the complexities they will encounter in a variety of healthcare settings, helping them to build the skills they need to practice safe and effective nursing care and to prepare for the NCLEX ® with confidence.

Case Study Topics ¡ Atherosclerosis and Other Arterial Diseases ¡ Restrictive and Vascular Pulmonary Disorders ¡ Short-term Complications of Diabetes ¡ Disorders of the Liver ¡ Chronic and Neurodegenerative Disorders ¡ SIRS and Organ Dysfunction

Each case study presents all the information students need to assess the situation and the client data; synthesize their knowledge and experience; prioritize and take action; and evaluate outcomes.

The Patient Chart displays tabs for History & Physical Assessment, Nurses’ Notes, Vital Signs, and Laboratory Results. As the case progresses, the chart expands and populates with additional data.

Students are guided through an analysis of their responses that includes detailed rationales . The feedback encourages them to consider what data is important and how to prioritize the information, while reinforcing thought patterns that result in safe and effective nursing care . !

Short-term Complications of Diabetes

You answered 2 out of 6 questions correctly

NGN-format questions that align with the cognitive areas of the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model require careful analysis, synthesis of the data, and multi-step thinking.

Each question ties to specific skills in the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model and includes page references to the text for remediation.

Test-taking tips provide important context for the higher levels of knowledge and understanding that underlie clinical judgment. They also offer strategies for how to consider the structure of each question type when answering.

ASSESS Improving scores and building confidence with NCLEX ® -style questions

Quizzing assignments use NCLEX ® -style questions to provide the additional practice students need to improve their scores on classroom and certification exams. Questions cover the same topics and concepts as the textbook to assess students’ comprehension of course material.

High-quality, NCLEX-style questions challenge students to test their knowledge and think critically. Bowtie and trend questions prepare students for the individual, stand-alone item types on the Next-Gen NCLEX®.

Students can easily create their own practice quizzes to focus on the topic areas where they are struggling or to use as a study tool to prepare for an upcoming exam.

Comprehensive rationales provide students with immediate feedback for on-the-spot remediation that explains why their responses are correct or incorrect. Page-specific references direct them to relevant content in their text, while Test-Taking Tips improve exam skills.

SIMULATE Preparing students for clinical and real-world experiences with video-based simulations

Sims immersive, video-based assignments require students to observe patients, assess situations, and make important clinical judgments about patient care that have real impact on patient outcomes.

Realistic videos provide verbal and nonverbal cues about the patient and the situation, allowing students to recognize cues, analyze cues, and prioritize hypotheses. The immersive scenarios also help students understand the importance of therapeutic communication and proper skill technique.

EHRs evolve based on the choices students make as they progress through the simulation.

Each question is a decision point ​. The questions require students to have a strong foundational understanding, assess the individual patient’s needs and specifics, and exercise careful clinical judgment. Each question is mapped to the cognitive skills in the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model.
