Author: Elizabeth HeaveyOVERVIEW
Every new print copy includes Navigate Advantage Access that unlocks an interactive eBook, student practice activities and assessments, Intellectus Statistics activities, homework review videos, SPSS tutorials (written and video), a full suite of instructor resources, and learning analytics reporting tools.
Nurses are leveraging new technologies to interpret and analyze clinical data. Understanding how to use that information and make appropriate clinical decisions are vital to their role and proper patient care. Statistics for Nursing: A Practical Approach, Fourth Edition presents the complicated topic of statistics in an understandable manner, so students are prepared to start their career no matter the setting. Relevant clinical examples followed by end of chapter application exercises, provide students the opportunity to practice statistics while learning.
The Fourth Edition introduces Intellectus Statistics, a web-based statistical software program designed to help non-statisticians learn to conduct research and complete statistical analyses appropriately. Often, computer applications are the most stressful part of learning statistics. This program simplifies the process of learning the software while helping students produce and understand the actual statistics content. This holistic course package will prepare nursing students to efficiently read, understand, and interpret public health data to improve patient care.
