Lippincott’s Q&A Review for NCLEX-RN, 13th Edition is an essential resource designed specifically for pre-licensure nursing students who are preparing to take the challenging NCLEX-RN licensing examination. This comprehensive review book serves not only as a study guide but also as an effective tool for practice tests that can aid both students and faculty in preparing for faculty-made examinations. The key advantage of this book is its integration with PassPoint, which allows for ongoing assessment and monitoring of progress throughout the nursing curriculum.

The content of the book is meticulously organized to cover the four major areas of focus in pre-licensure programs: obstetrics, pediatrics, medical-surgical nursing, and mental health nursing. Each of these sections is thoughtfully structured around common health problems, making it easier for students to navigate through the material relevant to their courses. As students study, they can select examinations that align with the content of specific courses, thus enhancing their learning experience.

One of the standout features of this NCLEX-RN review book is its inclusion of six comprehensive examinations that provide students with a realistic simulation of the actual NCLEX-RN test environment. These test items are randomized by subject area and difficulty, ensuring that students are well-prepared for any question they might encounter. Additionally, a new seventh comprehensive test focuses exclusively on pharmacology items, addressing a traditionally challenging area for many nursing students.

This consistently bestselling NCLEX-RN review book includes more than 6,000 high-level questions that are designed to prompt active learning and foster higher-order thinking skills. The questions are aligned with the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) 2019 test plan and are formatted in the same style as the licensing examination. The 13th edition emphasizes the importance of content alignment with the Activity Statements of the NCSBN RN Practice Analysis and includes additional questions on critically essential areas such as:

Other valuable features of this review book include an array of alternate-format questions found on the licensing examination, detailed rationales for both correct and incorrect answers, and useful information about the NCLEX-RN process. In addition, students will find study tips and a Content Mastery and Test-Taking Self Analysis grid, which allows them to chart their progress and adjust their study plans as necessary.

Furthermore, the accompanying site on thePoint provides students with an opportunity to practice taking computer-generated exams, as well as engaging with “audio” questions that require listening to audio files to answer questions accurately. This diverse approach to studying ensures that students are well-equipped to tackle the NCLEX-RN with confidence and skill.
