Help students effectively prepare for the new 2020 NBRC credentialing examination with Respiratory Care Exam Review, 5th Edition. This new edition contains everything students need to review and prepare for the Therapist Multiple-Choice Examination and the advanced Clinical Simulations Exam that closely aligns with the NBRC’s new testing format. It includes over 800 questions (both multiple choice and open-ended) within the text and online. Additionally the accompanying Evolve website contains both the Therapist Multiple-Choice Exam and twenty clinical simulations to provide additional practice and familiarize students with the computerized exam format.
-
- NEW! Thoroughly updated content incorporates the new 2020 NBRC Exam Content Outline.
- NEW! Extensively updated questions have been added throughout the text and online resources and include pre-chapter questions, post-chapter questions, questions on both TMC practice exams, and questions within the clinical simulations.
- NEW! Chapter-specific revisions include updates in the following areas: oxygen delivery devices, endotracheal tube maintenance (cuff pressure, minimal leak, and occlusive volume techniques), bronchoscopy, CPR procedures, hyperinflation devices, new drugs, pulmonary rehabilitation, and FeNO.
- 2020 NBRC Detailed Content Outline and examination matrix are reflected in the updated text so that students know exactly what to expect on the exams and can review each of the areas covered on the matrix.
- Comprehensive, yet concise approach utilizes a simple, straightforward outline format that is easy to follow.
- Pre-tests of several multiple-choice questions are formatted like those found on the NBRC TMC Exam and begin each chapter to allow the student to determine a base of knowledge and content areas of strength and weakness before studying the chapter. Recall, Application and Analysis-type questions for the pre-tests are included.
- Open-ended post-chapter study questions end each chapter to reinforce information and help the student to retain the material. As with the Pre-test questions, additional analysis-style questions are included.
- A Practice exam mirroring the new TMC exam is included at the back of the book with the answer key and rationales on Evolve, giving students even more opportunity to practice in the NBRC exam format.
- Clinical simulations on Evolve reflect the new quantity of simulations (20) and the newly revised length of these sims on the actual 2020 Clinical Simulation Exam (CSE), giving the students an opportunity to practice this difficult portion of the Registry Exam. For students, this is a secured site accessed by a pin code (access code in book). The software mimics that used on the actual NBRC CSE.
- Practice exams on Evolve are available in both study (untimed) and exam (timed) modes to provide an additional opportunity to practice and experience the actual NBRC testing environment in a computerized format. Featured on a secured Evolve site with the same scoring breakdown proposed by the NBRC, the Practice Exam allows students to test themselves after they have reviewed content and gives them an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the computerized exam format. There is one TMC exam of of 140 questions with automatic scoring to delineate the two levels – entry and advanced.
