This book features a problem-based approach to learning, which promotes concentration on attacking problems by using solid critical thinking skills, including interpretation, analysis, inference, explanation, evaluation, and self-regulation. In addition, great emphasis is placed on the use of respiratory care plans, particularly in the non-acute settings.
