Lippincott Review for Nclex-PN

By Barbara Kuhn Timby, Diana Rupert, Diana L Rupert, et al.

Book Overview

Lippincott Review for NCLEX-PN, 11E is designed to help pre-licensure nursing students in practical and vocational nursing programs prepare to take the licensing examination. The book content is divided into comprehensive yet manageable sections. More than 2,000 questions are organized across five major units. The first four units correspond to specialty areas of nursing practice: (1) The Nursing Care of Adults with Medical-Surgical Disorders; (2) The Nursing Care of the Childbearing Family; (3) The Nursing Care of Children; (4) The Nursing Care of Clients with Mental Health Needs. The four major units are further subdivided into a total of 17 separate review tests, with the bulk of the tests aligned with the medical-surgical nursing unit, which is the most common clinical area where new practical nurses are employed. All questions reflect a specific category and subcategory of client need. A fifth unit consists of a two-part Comprehensive Examination containing a total of 263 items. Taken in total, the Comprehensive Examination provides practice with more than the maximum of 205 questions asked on the NCLEX-PN. Another feature is the sections containing the Correct Answers and Rationales and Test Taking Strategies, which follow each review test and comprehensive examination. These sections provide the best answer to each test question; the rationale for the correct answer, and reasons why the other answer choices are incorrect; a test taking strategy to guide the selection of the answer to the question; the Cognitive Level of the question; and the Test Plan Category and Subcategory. Additionally, the book contains a detailed review of Frequently Asked Questions, designed to provide information about the NCLEX-PN testing process, how the test is designed, and suggestions on how to prepare for the examination.

The questions align with the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) 2017 PN 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 rationales for both correct and incorrect answers, and information about the NCLEX-PN. This edition contains expanded numbers of alternate-format items and more photos and illustrations, to enhance the learning experience for visual learners. An accompanying free trial of PassPoint PN provides book purchasers an opportunity to practice with additional questions and gives a sneak preview of the full PassPoint PN product.

Customer Reviews

very good review for taking NCLEX-PN

I find this book very easy to use. The material which is covered in the book is that of latest NCLEX PN exam. The CD-ROM that comes with it, is excellent practice for the actual exam itself which is computerized, and this is an excellent simulation. It was also reasonably priced compared to other review books out there.

the best

the best book ever for any nursing student preparing for the state exam. Contain all to know materials. Included also a very helpful CD with lots of questions and answers

Good, fast, reliable

This book was in perfect condition, it had the CD in it and it got to me within about 4 days with regular shipping! I would buy from this person again

Content is Worth The Price!

One of the few NCLEX-PN review books that goes above and beyond for studying for the boards. I used this book to study for my finals in Maternal-Child and received one of the highest scores in that class. Other than using Del Mar's Publishing NCLEX-PN review CD, ATI Books (which you can't buy online at any bookstore but at ATI) and this book, you can't beat the value or the incredible content! I even used the older edition to pass the 2006 boards! Buy it used, doesn't matter what it looks like--it's the content that's precious!

Lippincott's Review for NCLEX-PN

Not only does this book help you with the review for the n-clex, it is invaluable to you while you are still in the nursing program. Many times the questions in the book were very similar to test questions in my classes. This book gets you in the critical thinking mode. Also it explains the answers as well as why the other choices are incorrect.My study group swears by this book.
