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 memorisation, 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. Other helpful features include a study plan and guide for nurses to follow while preparing for the CCRN and significant position statement and guidelines throughout.
