Pass CCRN!: A Comprehensive Critical Care Review - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

"Pass CCRN!" is an essential resource for nurses preparing to take the Critical Care Nursing Certification Exam administered by the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN). The book presents a review of critical care nursing followed by practice questions and answers designed to prepare nurses to earn AACN certification (or renew AACN certification) by passing the required exam. "Pass CCRN!" uses an outline format to present content review and includes learning activities within each chapter that employ multiple choice, comparison, and elimination questions to help the user test their content knowledge. The book also includes two 200-item practice exams. The exams are included on the CD-ROM in the back of the book, hence users are able to gain experience taking the exam on computer, as it is administered by the AACN. The practice exams are in the same format as CCRN certification exam, so the format will be familiar to the nurse when he/she takes the certification exam. The information on the practice exam is based on the latest blueprint (Fall 1998) of the AACN Curriculum; all other competing books have published before the new blueprint was available, thus giving our book the competitive advantage. Additional practice questions to accompany each chapter are also included on the CD-ROM. The correct answer, with rationale, is provided for the practice questions, as well as unique test-taking strategy feedback. Also new to this edition is Chapter 13, Professional Care and Ethical Practice, which incorporates the newest module on the certification exam, and comprises 20 per cent of the total score. The content in the cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurologic chapters have been divided into two discrete chapters, Concepts and Conditions, in order to facilitate review of this complex material. The revision of the text also includes the addition of new illustrations, practice questions, and one additional practice exam.
