Online Tutorial 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.

• Module 1: Anatomy of the Respiratory System
• Module 2: The Thoracic Cavity and Lungs
• Module 3: Physiology of the Respiratory System
• Module 4: Assessment of the Respiratory System
• Module 5: Nursing Implications and Review
• Module 6: Test Bank

The tests in the test bank cover all of the tutorial modules. Test results are displayed at the end of each test including the number correct, the number incorrect, the percentage correct, and the correct answers accompanied by rationales. Test scores are stored in databases on the EDGT server for later retrieval and review.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this tutorial, learners should be able to:

• Discuss the anatomy of the respiratory system.
