Q&A Course Review
NCLEX® Prep
Assure your mastery of medical-surgical nursing knowledge while honing your critical-thinking and test-taking skills. The huge volume of information you must master is organized into manageable sections divided by body systems and specific diseases. Each chapter is a self-contained unit. Over 2,000 questions, (including NGN-style and alternate-format questions) reflect the latest advances in medical-surgical nursing and the latest NCLEX-RN® test plan.
For each practice question, you'll find the answer, rationales for correct and incorrect responses, and a test-taking tip. You'll also find Clinical Judgment Case Studies and NGN clinical judgment question types testing the cognitive skills of the NCSBN's clinical judgment measurement model. The comprehensive exam at the end assesses your strengths and weaknesses, identifying areas for further study.
