Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Patricia Gonce Morton, PhD, RN, ACNP-BC, FAAN (University of Utah College of Nursing)
Description: This 120-page softcover book focuses on practice test questions in preparation for the Adult Critical Care Certification Examination administered by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) through their Certification Corporation. When critical care nurses pass the certification examination, they can use the credential CCRN, which is a registered trademark and does not stand for "Critical Care Registered Nurse" but rather is affirmation that a registered nurse has met the AACN certification eligibility requirements and has successfully passed the examination. The book opens with an exam pass guarantee that states if a reader uses it to prepare for the exam and does not pass, the reader may return the book for a full refund.
Purpose: The purpose is to prepare critical care nurses who care for critically ill adult patients to take the adult CCRN certification examination and pass. The book aims to boost readers' confidence with exam style questions so they will be successful on test day.
Audience: Critical care nurses (also referred to as intensive care nurses) will find this up-to-date book valuable when preparing for the adult critical care certification examination. The book meets the needs of this audience. Although no authors are listed, the publisher indicates the questions were developed by experienced critical care nurses.
Features: The introduction summarizes eligibility requirements for the exam, the application process to sit for the exam, information about the exam including the question distribution by domains from the AACN adult CCRN exam blueprint, information about recertification, and tips for exam preparation. In part one, the first five chapters focus on practice test questions organized by body systems while chapter six centers on professional caring and ethical practice questions. Chapters are organized by the exam domains based on the blueprint of the examination. In this first part, the righthand page contains 4 to 5 multiple-choice test questions. Readers can flip to the next page to get the answers and rationales. Part two of the book has two chapters. The first contains a mock full-length, 150-question practice examination based on the exam blueprint. The second chapter offers comprehensive explanations of the answers to the practice exam and rationales for both the correct and incorrect answers. All questions in the book provide a test question stem with brief information about a patient case and readers must apply their knowledge to answer the questions. The questions are not based on memorization of facts; rather they test at a synthesis and application level.
Assessment: The book is of good quality and will be useful to critical care nurses. In addition to this book, there are at least six print and digital products available for preparation for the adult CCRN certification examination. Since the examination is computer based, some critical care nurses may prefer a product that provides computer-based practice exams rather than print-based exams. For a discounted price, readers can purchase further digital resources to accompany this book. Some nurses may prefer a product that offers more than one mock 150-question exam. What is missing in the book are specific strategies geared to help readers tackle the special challenges of multiple-choice questions.
