30 Day Evaluation Details:

The goal of this online tutorial is to help nurses accurately assess the respiratory system, identify normal findings, and recognize abnormal findings. Increased knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, and assessment of the respiratory system will help nurses keep their patients' major body systems functioning at their highest level.

Content Overview:

The content is divided into six modules The first five are instructional units. The final module is a test bank.
