learning objectives for an evidence-based primary care curriculum. Throughout
your nurse practitioner program, you will use the iHuman case studies to
promote the development of clinical reasoning through the use of ongoing
assessments and diagnostic skills and to develop patient care plans that are
grounded in the latest clinical guidelines and evidence-based practice.
The iHuman assignments are highly interactive and a dynamic
way to enhance your learning. Material from the iHuman cases may be present in
the quizzes, the midterm exam, and the final exam.
