MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

Corresponding to the chapters in Cooper and Gosnell's Foundations of Nursing, 8th Edition, this study guide helps you learn, understand, and apply the fundamentals of LPN/LVN nursing. Hundreds of labeling, matching, and fill-in-the-blank questions are included. It also includes critical thinking questions based on clinical scenarios, and multiple-choice and alternate-format questions to help you review for the NCLEX-PN (R) examination.

An increased emphasis on critical thinking and clinical scenarios prepares you more effectively for the NCLEX-PN (R) examination, with more NCLEX-style alternate-format type questions and more critical thinking activities.
Learning activities help you meet content objectives, and include crossword puzzles, labeling, matching, completion, identification, NCLEX (R) exam-style multiple-choice review questions, and critical thinking questions.

NEW! Updated and reworked content corresponds to the latest edition of Foundations of Nursing, 8th Edition
