With chapters corresponding to the chapters in Linton and Matteson's Medical-Surgical Practical Nursing in Canada, this study guide provides a variety of questions and exercises to help students master the PN’s role in Canadian medical-surgical care. Review exercises include fun activities, multiple-choice questions, alternate format questions, and more, all divided by level of difficulty. In the chapters on medical conditions, questions help students apply their knowledge directly to patient care in the clinical setting. This study guide reinforces student understanding of Canadian medical-surgical nursing and helps them prepare for the REx-PN® or CPNRE® licensure examinations.

    • Comprehensive review reflects the latest Canadian Council for Practical Nurse Regulators (CCPNR) national PN competencies (including Ontario and British Columbia)
    • Variety of exercises reinforces student learning with matching, multiple-choice, multiple-response, labelling, diagram reading, fill-in-the-blank questions, case studies, and more
    • Consistent format in each chapter:
    • Part I: Mastering the Basics focuses on basic knowledge and comprehension of medical-surgical nursing
    • Part II: Putting it All Together integrates chapter content related to basic pathophysiology and basic nursing content, and focuses on comprehension and application levels
    • Part III: Challenge Yourself! Getting Ready for PN Examinations focuses on the application or analysis levels of cognitive ability, and can include case studies, nursing care plans, and nursing assessment
    • Questions arranged by level of difficulty move from simple recall to more difficult exercises designed to help students apply, analyze, and synthesize basic concepts
    • Alternate format questions include multiple response, labelling, prioritizing, ordering, and calculation questions to help students practice for the REx-PN® and CPNRE® licensure examinations
    • Review questions on care for older adults focus on long-term care and community-based settings, asking students to apply content to real-world practice
    • Additional review questions are provided on the Evolve website for the textbook
