Adult Ccrn Certification Review - 9780826198334

This innovative review for experienced critical care nurses preparing for the Adult Critical Care certification exam (CCRN) has been finely honed to provide an effective balance of clinical judgment-enhancing content review, practice Q & A, test-taking skills, and thorough coverage of the CCRN test blueprint. Written by a well-known CCRN instructor, the review features a unique format called "Think in Questions" that is designed specifically to assist the user in thinking critically throughout the exam. This format guides the candidate through each exam topic with a short content review followed by a Socratic-style reasoning process to assist in arriving at the best clinical judgment. The review also features a separate section devoted specifically to the Professional Caring and Ethical Practice portion of the exam, as well as 200 CCRN-style review questions following the exam's content blueprint. These questions, in a simulated exam format, are answered along with rationale for each.

The review is both comprehensive and user-friendly, featuring "bite-size" sections for easier learning and memorization, use of case studies and short scenarios to enhance comprehension, and plentiful tables, charts, and drawings. The review also includes a section on test-taking skills, specific guidance on preparing for certification exams and useful hints related to the CCRN exam format.
