Description
This must-have workbook helps students learn the prioritization and delegation skills needed to survive nursing school, pass the NCLEX-RN
examination, and make the transition to practice in today's healthcare environment. Consisting of three parts plus an answer key, this
resource provides numerous opportunities for students to review cases and answer questions similar to those they will see on the NCLEX-RN
examination - including questions in alternate-item formats . Part 1, written by delegation expert Ruth Hansten, is an introduction
that provides a practical review of clinical delegation skills and serves as a framework for the exercises that follow. Part 2 consists
cases of patients who have relatively straightforward health problems followed by NCLEX examination-style questions focusing on prioritization,
delegation, and assignment. Part 3 consists of complex, unfolding cases involving patients who have multiple health conditions, as well
as complex patient assignments.
