Summary

The thoroughly updated Eighth Edition of the top-selling NCLEX-RN(R) review reflects the current NCLEX(R) test plan and contains more than 5,000 total test questions--including new alternate-format questions--to help students practice taking the exam. Organized by practice area--childbearing family and neonate, child health, adult medical-surgical, and psychiatric-mental health--the book contains more questions than any other NCLEX-RN(R) review, and includes more pharmacology-related questions. The author clearly explains the rationale for correct and incorrect answers. Five comprehensive tests resembling the format of the NCLEX-RN(R) are also included. A back-of-book CD-ROM includes more than 1,000 questions, plus a free sample of the PDA download for handheld devices. This edition is also available for PDAs.
