Description

This phenomenal new text focuses on assisting students in learning that there can be many possible choices in the clinical decision making process, and that these different choices can lead to many equally successful outcomes. Case Studies Through the Health Care Continuum: A Workbook for the Occupational Therapy Student is an entire book of case studies of adults with physical and psychological deficits. Each case study is followed by questions, organized around performance areas and performance components, treatment planning and discharge planning areas. The questions are designed to encourage clinical thinking about the cases. The cases encompass a variety of diagnoses and take place in a variety of health care arenas. By using case studies, students will begin to, and advance, their thinking process before directly dealing with clients. The cases are comprehensive and well thought out, and the questions provide a good starting point for processing and guiding critical thinking. This exceptional text can be used in almost every course in the curriculum!
