Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination 8th Edition Pdf Book Description:

Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination is one in a series of products designed to assist you in achieving your goal of becoming a registered nurse. This text will provide you with a comprehensive review of all nursing content areas specifically related to the new 2019 test plan for the NCLEX-RN examination, which is implemented by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing. This resource will help you achieve success on your nursing examinations during nursing school and on the NCLEX-RN examination. This book contains 20 units and 70 chapters. The chapters are designed to identify specific components of nursing content. They contain practice questions, both multiple choice and alternate item formats, that reflect the chapter content and the 2019 test plan for the NCLEX-RN examination. The final unit, Chapter 70, contains a 75 question Comprehensive Test. All questions in the book and on the Evolve site are presented in NCLEX-style format. The new test plan identifies a framework based on Client Needs. These Client Needs categories include Safe and Effective Care Environment, Health Promotion and Maintenance, Psychosocial Integrity, and Physiological Integrity. Integrated Processes are also identified as a component of the test plan. These include Caring, Communication and Documentation, Culture and Spirituality, Nursing Process, and Teaching and Learning. All chapters address the components of the test plan framework.

Pyramid Terms are important to the discussion of the content in the chapters in each unit. Therefore, they are in bold green type throughout the content section of each chapter. Definitions can be reviewed in the Audio Glossary on the Evolve site. The Pyramid to Success, a featured part of each unit introduction, provides you with an overview, guidance, and direction regarding the focus of review in the particular content area, as well as the content area’s relative importance to the 2019 test plan for the NCLEX-RN examination. The Pyramid to Success reviews the Client Needs and provides learning objectives as they pertain to the content in that unit. These learning objectives identify the specific components to keep in mind as you review each chapter. Students consistently state that pharmacology is an area with which they need assistance. The 2019 NCLEX-RN test plan continues to incorporate pharmacology in the examination, but only the generic drug names will be included. Therefore, pharmacology chapters have been included for your review and practice. This book includes 13 pharmacology chapters, a medication and intravenous prescriptions calculation chapter, and a pediatric medication administration and calculation chapter. Each of these chapters is followed by a practice test that uses the same question format described earlier. This book contains numerous pharmacology questions. Additionally, more than 950 pharmacology questions can be found on the accompanying Evolve site.
