From the Publisher: The only review book with the new, 2010 NCLEX-RN® Test Plan! A complete roadmap to NCLEX-RN® success! Three distinct sections in the book plus a bonus CD-ROM show you the way. Step 1 is an orientation and review of test-taking strategies with guidance for international and repeat test-takers. Step 2 consists of 60 practice tests over six chapters, all with NCLEX descriptors. Each chapter corresponds to one the exam's major subject areas, fundamentals, medical-surgical, ob/newborn, pediatric, mental health, and gerontological nursing. Each chapter also features specialized, stand-alone tests for pharmacology, management of care, and cultural diversity. Step 3 is two comprehensive exams that test mastery of all subject areas covered in the book and on the NCLEX-RN. BONUS CD-ROM with 3,005 questions (unique to the CD-ROM) that can be selected according to specific content areas, client need categories and subcategories, integrated processes, or phases of the nursing process, or by a 275-question comprehensive exam. 5,012 test questions in all-2,038 in the book and 3,005 on the CD. 1,340 alternative item format questions, 571 in the book, plus 769 on the CD-ROM, more than any other NCLEX-RN review product, with each format included in every test. Audio and graphic format questions online at DavisPlus. More than 900 pharmacology questions distributed across the major subject areas and in stand-alone tests. 1,189 questions supported by evidence-based practice citations. Two, 75-question comprehensive exams in the book. 88 chart/exhibit and 32-hot-spot items in the book alone-one of the best-illustrated Q & A books on the market. Application and Analysis Level Questions for all phases of the nursing process to reflect the exams emphasis on higher order cognitive processes. Consistent answer statements with the number(s) of the correct answer choice; client need category; integrated processes category; content area and sub area; cognitive domain level; rationales for correct answer choice (highlighted in color) and all incorrect choices; a test-taking tip; reference citation to the source from which the question is drawn. Questions in each subject area reflecting their weight on the actual exam-pharmacology; general client needs; safety, management of care, including leadership, management, and delegation; and cultural diversity. Questions from evidence-based practice research studies with source citations specific to nursing research studies. Appendices offering a glossary of terms and an index to all of the questions based on the NCLEX-RN Test Plan. Key test-taking strategies to reference while reviewing the tests
