title: Problem-based learning in a home health course.
abstract: To provide nursing students with skills in problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration, educators are faced with the challenge of designing and implementing effective teaching strategies. This article addresses how problem-based learning is used in a senior level course that focuses on complex health care problems in the community. Sequenced case studies based on realistic clinical situations were the vehicle for learning in this course.
