Overview

Pearson Reviews & Rationales: Comprehensive Review for NCLEX-RN® is the ultimate NCLEX-RN exam prep guide. This longtime best-seller provides a comprehensive outline review of the essential content areas tested on the NCLEX-RN exam.

Content areas addressed include management, delegation, leadership, clinical judgment, pharmacology and emergency care. Unlike similar texts, this review is organized like the NCLEX-RN exam itself: by client needs rather than course areas.

The 4th Edition reflects the 2023 NCLEX-RN Test Plan, with 5,600 new or updated NCLEX®-style practice questions. New features include Next Generation NCLEX standalone questions, as well as case studies preparing you for a new exam section.
