NURSING Test Preparation and Review

NCLEX-RN ® Questions & Answers Made Incredibly Easy! Seventh Edition Incredibly Easy! Series ® By Susan A. Lisko, DNP, RN, CNE DESCRIPTION NCLEX-RN ® Questions & Answers Made Incredibly Easy!, Seventh Edition is designed to help pre-licensure nursing students prepare for the licensing examination. This book and its accompanying electronic resources feature thousands of questions at the application level or above to prompt active learning and higher-order thinking. The book’s seven parts cover the basics of NCLEX test construction and how students should prepare, the four major content areas of pre-

licensure programs (medical-surgical, psychiatric/mental health, maternity, and pediatrics), a section on issues in nursing, and three comprehensive tests of varying lengths that help simulate the actual NCLEX experience. The questions align with the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) 2016 RN test plan. Throughout the book, the Made Incredibly Easy design, art, and captions help to engage students and present a fun, relaxed, encouraging, and supportive learning experience. Other features include the use of all the types of alternate-format questions and detailed rationale for both correct and incorrect answers. FEATURES ▶ ▶ More than 6,500 NCLEX-style questions (3,500 in the book and more than 3,000 interactive questions online) test your knowledge in all areas tested on the exam. ▶ ▶ Reliable NCLEX preparation guidelines and hundreds of test-taking hints and strategies prepare you for NCLEX success. ▶ ▶ A handy two-column format with questions on the left and answers and rationales on the right makes it easy for you to test yourself and review. ▶ ▶ Complete alignment with the DSM-5 ensures that all psychiatric nursing content reflects current standards. ▶ ▶ A full-color design facilitates learning with alternate-format questions appearing in red and graphic and hot spot questions presented with full color photographs and illustrations. ▶ ▶ Easy-to-use reference tables and charts for measurements, laboratory values, and heart and breath sounds provide at-a-glance information critical for study. ▶ ▶ Feedback from more than 100 nursing faculty and recent graduates across Canada and the United States ensures the most up-to-date practices, highest quality questions, and appropriateness of content. ▶ ▶ All NCLEX-RN question types are included—multiple choice, multiple response, hot spot, fill-in-the- blank, drag-and-drop/ordered response, chart/exhibit, as well as graphic and audio questions—to prepare you for any type of question you encounter on the actual exam. ▶ ▶ An accompanying PassPoint trial site gives you an opportunity to practice for the exam in a simulated NCLEX environment.
