Reinforce your understanding of LPN/LVN medical-surgical nursing — and prepare for the NCLEX-PN® exam! Corresponding to the chapters in Adult Health Nursing, 10th Edition, this study guide provides a variety of exercises to help you review, practice, and apply nursing concepts and care for patients with common disorders. Review questions make it easier to achieve the objectives from the textbook, and critical thinking activities help you develop clinical judgment skills. Next-Generation NCLEX® (NGN)–style case studies and questions serve as an effective study tool for the NGN exam.
- Variety of exercises reinforces your understanding with multiple-choice, matching, and select-all-that-apply questions, as well as figure labeling exercises.
- Clinical Judgment activities challenge you to apply your knowledge to clinical scenarios.
- Answer key is provided on the Evolve companion website for the Adult Health Nursing textbook.
