This booklet is intended for nursing education teachers, and provides them with the product and process that was successfully used to develop education learning packets. The booklet contains six self-paced modules which aid the student in the assessment of the patient and which have been culled by one teacher from a larger bank of material organized by Computerized Information System for Nursing Education (CISNE). The six modules are (1) Principles of Observation, (2) the Physical Examination, (3) Diagnostic Tests, (4) Vital Signs, (5) Blood Pressure, and (6) Recording and Reporting. Each of these six modules includes a stated purpose, a vocabulary list, behavioral objectives, evaluation guidelines, and a study guide. Provisions are made for student evaluation in each module. (BD)
