<ul>
<li>Includes a guided tutorial which shows students how to work with a patient in the virtual hospital · collect patient data from various sources (reports, charts, medication administration record, short video clips and audio clips of nurse-patient interactions) · record patient data · listen to a report and itemize a patient's problems and high-priority concerns · and sometimes administer medications.</li>
<li>Requires students to use their critical thinking skills to set priorities for care, collect data, analyze and interpret data, and reach conclusions about complex problems within a health-illness transition.</li>
<li>Encourages active learning and provides opportunities to identify information to collect and process data for evidence-based patient care; work with data entry and retrieval screens; optimize use of available information resources; understand hospital information systems; manage information for decision-making; and maintain and improve core computing skills..</li>
</ul>A series of groundbreaking, new workbooks and CD-ROMs, Virtual Clinical Excursions bring learning to life in two different "virtual" hospital settings! Each lesson in Virtual Clinical Excursions has a core textbook reading assignment with corresponding CD-ROM and workbook activities. The exercises in the workbook complement the content in the the parent text and provide a perfect environment in which students may "practice" what they are learning in the text. The workbooks act as maps ― guiding students through the CD-ROM as they care for patients in the virtual hospital. Virtual hospital visits on the CD-ROM allow students to access realistic information resources that are essential to patient care.

Kelly tells the story of the murder of a black youth by a white police officer in Teaneck, New Jersey, and the riot, protests, and trial that followed, through the eyes of the town's residents. He shows how the dilemmas of race still exert a powerful hold on American life, even in one of the first communities to voluntarily integrate its schools 25 years ago, and contrasts the idealism of the past with new realities.

As the morning sunlight crept over the limestone walls of Jerusalem’s old city, two young Americans flagged down a bus and got on. It was 6:45 am, February 25, 1996—an otherwise ordinary Sunday in Israel. Sara Duker and Matthew Eisenfeld settled into their seats as the door closed on Jerusalem’s Number 18 bus which would take them across the spine of this ancient city of hills. On this day, they had risen earlier than normal in the hope of touring an archaeological site. After a few more stops, their bus turned on Jerusalem’s Jaffa Road and rolled up a slight hill and stopped again. A young man, who seemed to be a student and was carrying a black duffle bag, got on. No one paid much attention to him, witnesses said later. Students carrying duffle bags or backpacks are a common sight in Jerusalem. But this man was no student. He took a seat. After several more stops, he stood and pushed a button attached to his duffle bag—and set off a huge bomb. Sara and Matthew died in the explosion. So did 24 others, along with the bomber. Their grieving families of the Americans set out to get answers and justice. So begins the story of “The Bus on Jaffa Road.” The narrative weaves from the streets of Jerusalem to a West Bank refugee camp to the White House, the Congress and a U.S. courtroom where the victims’ families filed a lawsuit against Iran for financing the bombing—then to a prison in the Negev desert in Israel where the author confronts the man who build the bomb on the Jaffa Road bus. It is a story that prefigures many of the difficulties of America’s “war on terrorism” and reminds us of the intractable nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that continues to this day.

For over a decade, ordinary people, doing ordinary things, have given Mike Kelly the opportunity to inform and entertain readers of the New Jersey-based newspaper The Record. To Kelly, the story is in the people--and in the lessons that their experiences can teach the rest of us about living, dying, laughing, and loving. In this collection of his columns, Kelly pays tribute to those people as he shares their story with a wider audience. 
Kelly charts the rise and fall of local, state, and national politicians. He searches for Jimmy Hoffa's legendary burial place in Giants Stadium, and he recalls an afternoon spent with a three-year-old AIDS victim. All together, these individual stories of hope and sorrow, of hardship and happiness, transcend their local origins and tell a larger story of how Americans live and perceive themselves.

The third volume in the series features 26 new research notes from 16 different contributors, extends the reach of the first two volumes, looking not only at risk-related issues of our time, but also at ethical dimensions of issues such as identity management, culture risk, privacy and security. The authors wrote the research notes while students in the University of Washington's Master of Science in Information Management (MSIM) program. This volume is divided into six sections: cybersecurity, economics, privacy, government oversight, innovation and disasters. "The third volume of Reflections on Risk covers a wide span of issues our society faces in the modern age. Topics range from the multiple impacts resulting from the migration of our underlying economic, social, and government infrastructure toward a digital environment, to the complexities of disaster management in an increasingly complex and crowded world. The timely collection of essays by students taught under Annie's guidance illuminates questions we should all be thinking about every day, and showcases the talent that will be shaping our future." -- Mike Crandall, Principal Research Scientist, University of Washington Information School "....delivers a wealth of unique, creative considerations of risk derived from the headlines. From risks of robotic surgery and the implications of 3-D printing to security for the Olympic Games and the disappearance of MH Flight 370, these articles challenge those charged with mitigating risk to broaden their thinking. The plethora of teachable moments in this book should not be missed." -- Brian Tishuk, General Counsel, FS-ISAC Reflections on RIsk III is the fifth book published by Tautegory Press since 2011.

The story of Jimmy Kelly's Steak House,&nbsp;Nashville's oldest fine restaurant and the family who started it--of stills,&nbsp;saloons, and speakeasies, and of a family who was tough and resourceful, who lost everything, and picked themselves up and started again.&nbsp; When young James Kelly fled the Irish Famine in 1848, he arrived in America with a roll of copper tubing under his shirt. To make whiskey, of course. And he did--in the green rolling hills of Middle Tennessee. Later his son John would open a saloon, initiating the family custom of serving up "a great steak and a generous pour of whiskey" that continues to this day. Readers will delight in tales of bootleggers and rumrunners, saloons and speakeasies, of hard workers with strong family values, the old genteel Nashville and the new Nashville recording industry, and the mysterious difference between whiskey and bourbon. There are stories about Jack Daniel, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans (and even Trigger), Al Capone, Bob Dylan, Grantland Rice, John Jay Hooker Sr., and local characters only a Nashvillian could love. The story of the Kelly family in Tennessee takes readers from the Civil War to Nashville's postwar boom and the turn of a new century: the Roaring 20s that followed the first World War, the temperance movement that led to Prohibition, and the speakeasy solution that led&nbsp;honest Kelly men to defy a patently bad law as they built a family legacy of beloved restaurants in Nashville.&nbsp;Mike Kelly--James's great-grandson--has written a fine and rollicking tale of a most interesting time in American history. His affection for his family and his community shows on every page.
