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.
