One of the most important steps in becoming an RN is taking the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). This exam measures the skills necessary to work safely and effectively as an entry-level registered nurse.

NCLEX-RN Review 3500 – Institutional Version was developed using the NCLEX-RN test plan as a guide, providing a comprehensive review to help identify your strengths and weaknesses and tailor your NCLEX preparation accordingly. The NCLEX-RN test plan integrates both client needs categories and the nursing process.

The health needs of patients are grouped under 4 client needs categories and 6 client needs subcategories, as follows:

• Safe, Effective Care Environment
     – Management of Care
     – Safety and Infection Control

• Health Promotion and Maintenance

• Psychosocial Integrity

• Physiological Integrity
     – Basic Care and Comfort
     – Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies
     – Reduction of Risk Potential
     – Physiological Adaptation

The nursing process is a scientific method of applying nursing principles to patient care. The five steps are:

• assessment (obtaining a database by gathering subjective and objective information about the patient)
• analysis (identifying actual or potential patient health problems based on assessment)
• planning (setting and prioritizing goals, formulating nursing interventions, and developing a plan of care)
• implementation (accomplishing the interventions and moving toward the desired outcomes identified in the plan of care)
• evaluation (determining if the goals identified in the plan of care have been achieved).
