Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment: Practice Exercises for the NCLEX Examination

I just took the NCLEX a few days ago and I largely credit LaCharity et al for my ease in passing with minimum questions. About 1/3 of my exam was priority questions. I also had many ordered response questions such as the ones in this text. I thought LaCharity's questions were actually tougher than NCLEX, so using this book is like batting with weights. It's also slim and easy to carry around, unlike most NCLEX study books. My M.O.: Make a notebook page for each chapter (and case study, if you are doing those. I didn't) and write out the reason you missed each one. In addition, write out the rationales for the questions you guessed correctly on, just to solidify your knowledge. Study these notes and/ or make flashcards. Of all the texts I used (Saunders, Lippincott Alt. Format, and Kaplan strategies), I found LaCharity PDA to be the most helpful.Supplemental info for nursing students: For sheer volume in practice questions, I recommend you purchase NCLEX Mastery for your smart phone. You can also dl free Lippincott and Kaplan questions as well. Do not settle for the free NCLEX Mastery app, however. Pay the $24.99 for the full version because the features are highly valuable and user-friendly. Having apps allows you to study whenever you have small chunks of time. PDA, Hurst Review online, and the NCLEX Mastery app all helped me immensely. Happy studying.

Excelente ,magnífico

This book is essential for NCLEX preparation. It was highly recommended to me by several students one cohort ahead of me who already passed the exam, and I am so-o-o-o glad they told me about it. They informed me I would be surprised to learn what an LPN could and could not do, regardless of what I was taught. They were absolutely correct - there are many technicalities about delegation I have not found anywhere else yet. Prioritization is an especially tough topic for many, and this book does an outstanding job of helping you learn this skill. I can almost guarantee you will feel much better about it upon completion of this book. I think it is a must-have to increase your level of knowledge and build confidence to walk through the door of the exam testing center.I really appreciate the way this book is organized, and think you will do best if you do the book in the order of which its chapters are written. There are 18 chapters by subject, and then 21 case studies. All answers are categorized as having a focus of either delegation, assignment, or prioritization. So, you can keep track of which areas you are doing better in, and you will know which area is your weakest. Of course, within the questions there is excellent review of all your basics such as ABGs, physical assessments, pathophysiology, etc. Hope this helps you in your book selections, and GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

If you are frugal like me and not want to pay $$$ for a review course, this book is an absolute must! As one of three books I used to study for the NCLEX-RN (I also used Saunders 4th ed. and the Kaplan 2011-2012 strategies books), I am happy to report that I passed with 75 questions on my first attempt. The type of questions I mostly encountered on the NCLEX-RN were priority questions, and as the title of this book implies, it focuses on priority, delegation, and assignment type questions. What I loved about LaCharity's book is the difficulty level of the questions. I thought Saunders' questions were a bit easy for me, so I turned to this book instead. Sure the questions can be difficult, but it was that sort of difficulty level that made taking the NCLEX-RN more manageable. And yes, I went through the entire book from cover to cover. The questions are not designed based on rote memorization; it requires you to be a critical thinker which is what the NCLEX-RN is designed to test you on as well.

This is perfect for the NCLEX because it has a ton of questions in each chapter on prioritizing and delegating items. The questions are medium type of questions but they really do prepare you for the real thing. I passed my NCLEX at 75 questions and I used this book to study these type of questions. The one thing it is missing is breaking down how to prioritize and delegate. I have seen books where it breaks down important items that the nurse cannot delegate or gives important things that they can delegate. Also it doesn't really give you any way to figure out how to prioritize like the specifics about using maslows or ABC's. If you need more questions this book really helps.

This book is filled with a bunch of practice questions from each system! It ends with the answers and rationales for each answer choice and helps you gain a better understanding on why the answer is what it is! Prioritization and delegation were pretty big on the test so it is definitely worth the money! BUY IT!

After failing the NCLEX-RN in 265 questions the first try I searched high and low for tips to pass, most of which led me here. My first time around I only did UWORLD which in itself is a great resource but I wasn’t ~really~ understanding the WHY.The trick with the NCLEX is knowing WHY the right answer is right - and this book takes a deep dive into that. It helped me to better understand how to prioritize care in hypothetical questions, what the scope of care is for other professionals and how to delegate to them, along with tons of PRACTICE questions.My second time around I only did the practice from this book! The month leading up to my test date I did two to three chapters per day and read and highlighted rationales. After completing all the practice questions in this book I finally understood how to prioritize for tricky questions and passed the second time in 75 questions. I felt defeated at first but through this book I regained confidence and went into the test feeling it!If you’re studying for nursing school exams, the NCLEX your first or even third try, this book is worth it. And so are YOU - I found a lot of hope in positive reviews and YouTube videos after my first attempt and I hope you do too! You’ve got this!

The media could not be loaded. Came earlier which is great!! Bought it as Used but doesnt seem like it. It is more like almost Brand new. Like never been used.. 😊

Delivered well... good packaging and it really protected the book. Legit...

Buenísimo libro para preparar el NCLEX.Un must-have totalmente recomendable.

This is a great book to add to your NCLEX study timetable. The first part gives guild lines for prioritisation, delegation and assignment. The second part of It covers important areas, for example infection control, pain, cancer, obstetrics and maternity, cardiovasular problems, respiratory issues, emergencies and disasters, etc etcThe third part gives tests on prioritisation, delegation and assigment in complex health scenarios. I liked the book because its small but packs a punch. I had been studying for five weeks all day a every day when I got this book, I was exhausted and brain dead. But I found myself inspired enough to review my exam marks at the end of each chapter and then cross reference the correct answer from other books I had. Overall I really learnt a lot from this book.

This is the number 1 book I tell all the younger nursing students to buy. So many teachers use questions from this book and I love the content of it. Helped a lot for nursing school
