A. Crossword Puzzle
Complete the crossword puzzle below, which uses terms and concepts
presented in Chapter 1. (Puzzles may be removed for easier viewing.)
Note that there is a crossword puzzle in every chapter of this Resource
Manual. We hope they will be a “fun” way for you to review key terms used
in each chapter. However, we are not professional puzzle designers and so
there are some oddities about the puzzles. These oddities are not intended to
be trick questions but rather represent liberties we took in trying to get as
many terms as possible into the puzzle. So, for example, there are a lot of
acronyms (e.g., evidence-based practice = EBP) and abbreviations (e.g.,
evidence = evid) and even a few words that are written backwards (e.g.,
evidence = ecnedive). Two-word answers sometimes appear with a hyphen
(e.g., evidence-based) and sometimes they are just run together (e.g.,
evidencebased). The crossword puzzle answers are at the back of this
Resource Manual, in case our intent is too obscure! [Show Less]
