Three-part chapter organization separates content into 1) study questions, 2) NCLEX review and application questions, and 3) dosage calculation questions. Prioritization and delegation questions emphasize skills related to prioritization and delegation, both of which are increasingly being tested on the NCLEX Exam, and are highlighted by special icons. Focus on implications of drugs and drug classes for patient care includes activities and questions that are designed for you to answer "How do the drugs work in the body?" and "How do these drug actions impact patient care?" Application- and analysis-level questions are highlighted by special icons, and ask you to integrate other nursing knowledge such as developmental considerations, laboratory values, and symptoms of adverse effects. Detailed rationales for all prioritization questions are included in the answer key and include explanations for both correct and incorrect responses.
