Looking up related information-
even when page references are not given
Usually a book gives only the most important page references, to save you time
in looking things up. But sometimes you will want to look up related information, or
something you are unsure about—even though no page reference
is given.
Read this information about measles from pages 311
and 312 of Where There Is No Doctor:
Do you know what a virus
is? If not, look it up in the
VOCABULARY.
What foods are nutritious:
Look in the INDEX,
the VOCABULARY, or
Chapter 11 on Nutrition.
Be sure students practice looking up page references
and reading the related information. They should keep
practicing this until they can do it easily. The group can
play a game by following references from page to page.
They will find that almost everything in health care is
related!
This is an exact page
reference. Turn to page
120.
What are the dosages, risks,
and precautions for these
medicines? Look them up in
the GREEN PAGES.
What is an antibiotic?
You can turn to p. 351, as
suggested. But for more
information, look in the
INDEX or the GREEN
PAGES.
What are the signs of
pneumonia and meningitis?
How can you check for
severe pain in the ear
or stomach? If you are
uncertain, look these
up in the INDEX or the
CONTENTS.
What are vaccinations?
You can look in the
VOCABULARY. Where
can you find out more
about them? Look in the
INDEX or the CONTENTS.
