Lippincott Q&A Review for NCLEX-RN
, 12th Edition is designed
to help pre-licensure nursing students prepare to take the licensing
examination. Students and faculty also use the book is as a study
guide and practice tests for preparing for faculty-made examinations.
Because the questions found in the book are also available in PassPoint,
the products used together act as an ongoing assessment tool to
monitor progress throughout the nursing curriculum.
This consistently bestselling NCLEX-RN review book features more
than 6,000 high-level questions that prompt active learning and
higher-order thinking. The questions support the National Council
of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) test plan and are written in the
style used on the licensing examination. Other features include the use
of 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.
Features
• Item revision based on data from PassPoint; revised questions were
too easy or too difficult.
• Emphasis on link of the book to PassPoint, providing students a
variety of ways to identify areas for student and practice.
• Revision of the organization of the comprehensive tests to include
tests of varying length; this will allow students to practice taking
shorter and longer tests so they can estimate their concentration
and fatigue level.
• All questions reviewed and updated as needed for appropriateness
for Canadian nursing practice.
• Greater emphasis on pharmacology and management of care
questions (delegation, prioritization, and leadership), as per the
NCLEX-RN test plan.
• Adherence to the NCLEX-RN 2016 test plan and Practice Analysis
(to be released fall/spring 2015).
• Questions formulated based on frequency of nursing actions as per
NCSBN Practice Analysis.
• Color highlights for alternate-format questions to emphasize them
for students and potential adopters (students and faculty who want
to be assured of availability of these types of questions). As per
market review, color highlights will NOT be used in comprehensive
exams to simulate more accurately the questions that are NOT
highlighted on the actual NCSBN NCELX-RN exam.
• Conversion grid from metric to imperial to assist students in both
the United States and Canada to become familiar with these
differences in measurements; all questions will be written to include
both types of measurements.
• A free, interactive CD with 1300 questions.
