*4 stars* “…a medical-surgical foundation for LPN/LVNs in preparation for the NCLEX and entry into practice…. [P]rovides the right information at the right level without being superficial… [and] builds on skills and knowledge of [the] foundation of patient care…. [A]ll the necessary competencies are covered…. The next generation style questions are a real plus to challenge the knowledge level of the students as they move through the chapters…. [while] case studies require critical thinking using the nursing process to develop clinical judgement…. The Nursing Care Plans are also set up within a case-study format,… [and] knowledge boxes are instrumental to the students being able to develop critical judgement…. The text has many great aspects,… [and] is one of few books in the LPN/LVN medical-surgical field. Review books for the PN NCLEX do not compare to this textbook.” — ©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Linda K Connelly, PhD, DNP, MSH, CNS, APRN, CNOR (University of Houston)
