Lippincott's Review for NCLEX-RNThe thoroughly updated Eighth Edition of the top-selling NCLEX-RN® review reflects the current NCLEX® test plan and contains more than 5,000 total test questions—including new alternate-format questions—to help students practice taking the exam. Organized by practice area—childbearing family and neonate, child health, adult medical-surgical, and psychiatric-mental health—the book contains more questions than any other NCLEX-RN® review, and includes more pharmacology-related questions. The author clearly explains the rationale for correct and incorrect answers. Five comprehensive tests resembling the format of the NCLEX-RN® are also included. A back-of-book CD-ROM includes more than 1,000 questions, plus a free sample of the PDA download for handheld devices. This edition is also available for PDAs. See PDA listing for details. |
