Lippincott Q&A Review for NCLEX-RN,
12e is designed to help pre-
licensure nursing students prepare to take the licensing examination.
The book is designed to support the four major content areas in pre-
licensure programs: obstetrics, pediatrics, medical-surgical, and mental
health nursing. When studying, students can select examinations that
parallel the content in a particular course in a variety of curricula.
PassPoint offers the same flexibility for review and study. The textbook
also includes six comprehensive examinations to provide students
a realistic example of the NCLEX-RN test, in which test items are
randomized by subject area and difficulty.
Features
• More than 6,000 high-level questions that cover all exam topics and
support the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN)
test plan.
• all the types of alternate-format questions found on the licensing
examination
• Detailed rationale for both correct and incorrect answers
• information about the NCLEX-RN, study tips, and a “Content
Mastery and Test-Taking Self Analysis” grid by which students can
chart their own progress and modify study plans as needed.
• The accompanying site on thePoint provides an opportunity for
students to practice taking computer-generated exams as well as
taking “audio” questions that require students to listen to audio files
to answer.
• Greater emphasis on pharmacology and management of care
questions (delegation, prioritization, and leadership), as per the
NCLEX-RN test plan.
• Additional questions about older adults.
• Additional questions requiring students to make clinical decisions.
• Adherence to the NCLEX-RN 2016 test plan and Practice Analysis
(to be released fall/spring 2015).

NCSBN Practice Analysis.
