As you work through a DxR Nursing case, your activity will follow the key steps in the nursing process. You will begin by performing a client assessment using a computer- ized client chart (page 6) and organizing pertinent client information by associating the data into framework categories. Next, you may have the opportunity to perform a virtual physical examination by applying an appropriate exam tool to a picture of the part of the client’s body that you want to examine and then reviewing the client’s results (page 7). You will also be asked to use the pertinent client data to select nurs- ing diagnoses from a database containing the latest NANDA nursing diagnoses (page 8). You may then create client-centered care plans for each of the case author’s approved nursing diagnoses (page 9). Finally, you may have the opportunity to con- duct a progress evaluation to gauge the client’s progress toward his or her desired outcomes (pages 10-11). The DxR Nursing program records each of your selections and entries as you work through a client case. Your instructor can review and evaluate your decisions in com- parison to the evaluation standards set by the case author and in relation to the per- formance demonstrated by your peers. Entering the program 1. Set the monitor resolution to 800x600. The current version of the Shockwave® Player plug-in must be installed. (See page 2 for instructions.) 2.
