Abstract

This new feature, based on actual case histories, takes a different approach to learning: There's no single correct answer to the questions. Instead, the answers reflect different levels of nursing skill and experience, from novice to expert (as conceptualized by Patricia Benner), which will be explained in the written commentary you receive with your certificate. The patient's name and other details of the case have been altered to ensure confidentiality. After reading this article and answering the questions, you'll be able to effectively manage certain aspects of the postoperative care of a patient who's had a radical prostatectomy. See page 19 for CE instructions and answer coupon.
