The information in Mosby’s Comprehensive Review of Nursing for the NCLEX-RN Examination has
been totally revised and updated for this 20th edition. The progression of subject matter in each
area reflects the consistent approach that has been used throughout the book. Information presented
incorporates the latest knowledge, newest trends, and current practices in the profession of nursing.
The Introduction for Students Preparing for the Licensure Examination provides information
about the NCLEX-RN® Examination, including the classifications used in the test plan structure.
It also reviews clues for answering multiple-choice questions, provides examples of alternate-
format items, and discusses the comprehensive exams and how to use this book when studying.
Foundations of Nursing Practice—Unit I (Chapters 1 through 3)—discusses factors that influence
client needs, the basics of nursing practice, and integral aspects of nursing care. These chapters
present information essential to the practice of nursing that is common to all of the clinical areas.
Content related to Medical-Surgical Nursing is presented in Unit 2 (Chapters 5 through 13);
content related to Mental Health/Psychiatric Nursing is presented in Unit 3 (Chapters 15 through
21); content related to Childbearing and Women’s Health Nursing is presented in Unit 4 (Chap-
ters 23 through 27); and content related to Child Health Nursing is presented in Unit 5 (Chapters
29 through 34). Chapters 4, 14, 22, 28, and 35 consist of questions with their answers and
rationales that relate to Foundations of Nursing Practice, Medical-Surgical Nursing, Mental
Health Nursing, Childbearing and Women’s Health Nursing, and Child Health Nursing, respec-
tively. Chapter 36 in Unit 6 contains a 265-item Comprehensive Exam that mirrors the NCLEX-
RN® Examination. Chapter 37 in Unit 6 contains two Study Worksheets: Focus For Study
Worksheet—Adapted NCLEX-RN Test Plan and Focus For Study Worksheet—Content Areas. These
worksheets promote an individualized assessment that can focus future study.
The Medical-Surgical, Mental Health/Psychiatric, Childbearing and Women’s Health, and
Child Health Nursing chapters incorporate information from the basic sciences, nutrition, phar-
macology, acute and long-term care, and physical and emotional nursing care. We continue to
present the material in the traditional clinical groupings for we still believe that when preparing
for a comprehensive examination, the average student will study all of the distinct parts before
attempting to put them together. Although we believe that in practice the nursing process is
continually evolving rather than remaining a clearly defined step-by-step process, we present the
content under the following headings: Assessment/Analysis, Planning/Implementation, and Eval-
uation/Outcomes. We believe that this grouping avoids needless repetition, recognizes the abilities
of our readers, and reflects current practice.
Over 4200 questions have been included in this edition of Mosby’s Comprehensive Review of
Nursing for the NCLEX-RN Examination. More than 500 of them are new questions that reflect
the increased emphasis on Management of Care, Reduction of Risk Potential, and Alternate
Format Items. Although the majority of the questions are multiple-choice, the number of alternate
format items (e.g., multiple-response items, ordered-response items, fill-in-the-blank items, hot
spot items, and exhibit items) in the book was increased to 618.
The questions in Chapters 4, 14, 22, 28, and 35 are grouped according to the chapter in which
the content of the question is presented. For every question in this edition and on the CD-ROM
we have provided rationales that state the reason why the correct answer is correct, as well as why
the incorrect answers are incorrect. To further assist the user in studying/reviewing by a specific
content area, the questions are classified according to Client Need, Cognitive Level, Nursing
Process, Integrated Process (if applicable), and Reference. The Reference category at the end of
each answer/rationale refers the student to the chapter and major headings under which the
content in the question is presented in more detail in Mosby’s Comprehensive Review of Nursing
for the NCLEX-RN Examination.
One Comprehensive Exam is included in this textbook and on the Companion CD, along
with a second Comprehensive Exam that appears only on the Companion CD-ROM. These
Preface

comprehensive exams provide an opportunity for the test taker to experience testing situations that
approximate the NCLEX-RN®. To parallel the NCLEX-RN®, the first 75 questions in each test
reflect the minimal testing experience for students taking the NCLEX-RN®. The total number of
265 questions in each test reflects the maximum number of questions that a student can take on
the NCLEX-RN®. On the CD all of the questions in the comprehensive exams have been analyzed
as to Client Need, Cognitive Level, Nursing Process, Integrated Processes (if applicable), and Refer-
ence to content in Mosby’s Comprehensive Review of Nursing for the NCLEX-RN Examination.
The Companion CD-ROM contains the 2245 questions from the book, as well as 1965 addi-
tional test questions that can be used in both study and test format. These questions also have
been categorized by Client Need, Cognitive Level, Nursing Process, and Integrated Process (if
applicable). Whether the test taker answers these questions in a written or computerized format
the information being tested remains constant. To reinforce learned information and build con-
fidence in taking a computerized test, we suggest that students practice answering questions on
this CD to simulate the computerized NCLEX-RN®. The Companion CD has three practice
modes: Study, Quiz, and Exam. The Study and Quiz modes allow a selection of topics and catego-
ries to create an exam consisting of as many items as desired. The Study mode provides immediate
feedback and rationales as each question is answered. The Quiz mode provides an analysis of
performance once all the questions on the exam have been answered. The Exam mode includes
two Comprehensive Exams with 265 questions each that will appear in random order each time
the test is taken. A third option, Comprehensive Exam Random generates 265 questions randomly
from all questions available. Content selection allows for a choice of questions by client need,
step of the nursing process, or content area to individualize a focused study. The Companion CD
also includes brand new mp3 key point summaries that can be downloaded for on-the-go review.
All of the questions used in this edition have been submitted by outstanding educators and
practitioners/health care providers of nursing. Initially the editorial board reviewed all questions,
selecting the most pertinent for inclusion in a mass field-testing project or analysis by a panel of
expert nursing educators. Students graduating from baccalaureate, associate degree, and diploma
nursing programs in various locations in the United States provided a diverse group for the mass
field-testing project or focus group sessions. Results were statistically analyzed. This analysis, in
addition to the input from the panel of expert nursing educators, was used to select questions for
inclusion in the book.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Kristin Geen, Executive Editor, for her mas-
terful leadership; Jamie Horn, Senior Developmental Editor, for her dedication to this project
and for keeping us focused; Johnny Gabbert, Project Manager, for being always available and
having the answers to all of our questions; Karen Pauls, Designer, for taking a complex manuscript
and making it easy on the eyes and brain; Debbie Prato, Copyeditor, for ensuring a crisp, accurate
manuscript; and finally Eloise DeHaan, Proofreader, for her meticulous attention to detail in
relation to content and format.
In addition, we recognize the exemplary work of the Contributing Authors, Contributing Item
Writers, and Reviewers that reflects their dedication and expertise. We thank our proofreaders
Erin Mitchell, Frances Timcheck, Kathleen Ashker, Cheryl Wolff, and Dorene Lebowitz for their
help in the final stages of manuscript preparation. A special thank you goes to Barbara Vitale for
work over and beyond the call of her content editorial duties. We especially appreciate our families
for their patience and understanding when the production of this book consumed most of our
time and energy.
