Understanding Student Perspectives in First-Year Math/Stat Embedded Course Experiences
This article is an examination of how a corequisite course structure, a community learning space (the Math Lab), and an embedded peer support program (Learning Assistants [LAs]) work in concert to support students in completing their General Education Math/Quantitative Reasoning (GE Math/QR) courses at California State University, East Bay. Surveys were conducted with all first-year GE Math/QR students in Fall 2019 (N = 676). We interviewed focal students who were placed in corequisite courses (N = 6) and focal LAs who tutored in the Math Lab and supported students while embedded in GE Math/QR courses (N = 4). Institutional data was also collected and analyzed to understand relationships between course grades, demographics, and Math Lab use. Our findings align and strengthen with studies recommending corequisite courses over developmental courses. Also, underrepresented minority (URM) students enrolled in corequisite courses succeeded at higher rates than expected. We conclude by offering specific recommendations for future work and analysis.

Adult-gerontology practice guidelines
The first book to encompass adult-gerontology practice guidelines for primary care, this comprehensive resource is designed as a text and reference for health care practitioners specializing as adultgerontology nurse practitioners (A-GNP). It provides current national practice guidelines for delivering high-quality primary health care to adult, older adult, and pregnant patients in the outpatient setting. The book delivers chapters that focus on the older adult person, including a chapter describing the major effects of aging on each body system. For quick and easy access, practice guidelines are organized primarily by body system, disorders listed alphabetically within each body system, and each disorder presented in a consistent format throughout. With an emphasis on history taking, the physical exam, and key features of the aging population, each of the more than 240 disorder guidelines include definition, incidence, pathogenesis, predisposing factors, common complaints, other signs and symptoms, subjective data, physical exam, diagnostic tests, differential diagnoses, plan of care, health promotion including dietary recommendations, follow-up guidelines, and tips for consultation/referral. Particularly useful features include “Practice Pointers” highlighting crucial information for a disorder and bold-faced “Alerts” from experienced practitioners. The book also describes 19 procedures commonly used within the office or clinic setting. More than 140 Patient Teaching Guides are included (perforated for ease of use) as well as in digital format for customizing and printing. These include important information for patients about safety and medications. Appendices feature normal lab values and dietary guidelines.
