Clearly separating the overwhelming array of medical-surgical nursing content into manageable sections as they are taught and tested, "Med-Surg Success" provides core medical-surgical concepts with related NCLEX-style questions. Like the NCLEX itself, the questions are presented at the application and analysis level, and address the nursing process, management, prioritizing, and medications: critical thinking and how it relates to test taking is emphasized throughout. Organized by body system and specific diseases, "Med-Surg Success" builds on the successful skills and strategies that have already helped thousands of students in Fundamentals Success and Test Success. The disorders chapters provide practice questions focused on the disease process and a comprehensive exam that includes the processes covered in the practice questions along with other topics involving the system addressed. Other chapters similarly cover emergency, perioperative, and cultural nursing; alternative health care and end-of-life issues; and the last chapter before the comprehensive final exam includes questions and test-taking hints specific to pharmacology and the administration of medications.

Best critical thinking book!,

This review is from: Med-Surg Success: Course Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking (Paperback)
My Nursing Instructor initially recommended this book last semester and now it is part of the required books for this semester. It is an excellent study guide and helped me get a high grade in Adults Health II. I learned a lot from it and will use it to study for NCLEX. Saunders NCLEX study guide is good also.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent for preparing for exams and state board,
By trivia queen (The Heart of North East Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Med-Surg Success: Course Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking (Paperback)
The rationales and test-taking hints are what sets this book apart from other course review books. Also the questions can be very challenging and will make you think. Each disorder section also have relevant delegation and prioritization questions. The Glossary of English Words common on nursing exams is very helpful when writing care plans and formal papers. In my opinion this book should be on the required text-book list of nursing schools. I believe that this book has increased my test grade average by 4-5 points.

Build Test Taking Skills,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Med-Surg Success: Course Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking (Paperback)
Although this book will not help you review material, it will help you build your nursing test taking skills. This book contains practice test questions regarding Med/Surg material. The questions are reviewed with rationales, and the book includes many test taking tips that are helpful. If you are looking for a book to help review actual material, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a way to help increase your test scores by becoming more familiar with how nursing test questions should be answered, this book can definitely help.
