Computer-assisted interactive video instruction in nursing (CAIVIN).

Computer-assisted interactive video instruction in nursing (CAIVIN) uses a team approach in designing and producing interactive software. The team's goal is to produce videodiscs in a variety of settings within nursing specialties. The current focus is decision making in medical-surgical nursing using the nursing process as the problem-solving model. Interactive video is used to make a smooth, safe transition from theory to practice through the use of simulations.
