This book applies critical-thinking skills primarily to multiple choice questions and to some alternate test items. It provides practice test questions and test-taking hints to help you analyze each item and choose the correct response. Another book in the Success series, Fundamentals Success by Nugent and Vitale, explains critical thinking and the RACE Model, which are used in each book in the series. This information will help you answer questions on tests in your nursing courses and on the NCLEX-RN® examination. The key to successful studying is knowing the material that will be covered on the examinations. Course notes should be studied every night and cor- responding readings done before class. This will help you learn the material and retain it longer. Once you know the material, it is important for you to be able to answer primarily multiple choice questions correctly. The RACE Model will help you succeed with answer- ing questions. HOW TO USE THIS REVIEW BOOK The book contains 14 chapters, a final comprehensive examination, and practice questions online. Test-taking hints are included with each question. This chapter, Chapter 1, provides guidelines for course test preparation and includes an example of how to use the RACE Model. Chapter 2 focuses on pharmacology and has been included because of the expressed need of students for extra testing in this area. In the NCLEX-RN® test plan (www. ncsbn.org), pharmacology and management of care have a large number of test items. This chapter includes questions centered on what the student nurse caring for children of all ages needs to know about administering medications, drug actions, dosages, expected effects, adverse effects, and teaching families. Chapter 3 covers growth and development of children from infancy through adolescence. Chapter 4 covers material on issues related to pediatric health. Chapters 5 through 13 follow pediatric health problems through each of the body systems. Each chapter contains practice questions, answers, and rationales for the correct answer, including test-taking hints, keywords, and abbreviations. Chapter 14, “Leadership and Management,” relates to pediatric nursing. Graduates need to have a working knowledge of issues in these areas. Chapter 15 is a final 100-ques- tion comprehensive examination. There are also questions available online that you can access free for 30 days. Questions in this book are written primarily at the application and analysis level and are either multiple choice, with four response choices, or alternate item format. Nursing faculty members write tests in these formats to familiarize students with the NCLEX-RN® examination style. Test Preparation One of the most important strategies for you is to study your course materials thoroughly and know the assigned concepts for each examination in your class. It is best to study daily 1 2 PEDIATRIC SUCCESS so that you really learn the material. Don’t wait and try to learn it all at once. The more time you spend studying the topic, the better you will retain the material. After you feel confident that you know the material, choose the chapter(s) in this book that correspond(s) with the assigned test material in your nursing course. Answer the prac- tice questions to determine your level of knowledge about the topic. Carefully review the questions you miss, making sure you read and understand the rationale for choosing the wrong distracter and why the correct response is indeed correct. The rationales provide a great deal of information about the correct and incorrect options, which helps you under- stand the content more completely. The test-taking hints are strategies to help you logi- cally determine the correct response. If you still feel uncomfortable with the content area, review that chapter in your textbook for better understanding. This method of preparing for an examination will help you identify your strengths and areas to focus on as you con- tinue to study. You may want to start with Chapter 2, “Pharmacology,” because you will be admin- istering medications to children throughout your pediatric nursing course. This chapter will help you focus on teaching strategies for families of children receiving medications, differences in delivering drugs to children, and calculating dosages. RACE Model The RACE Model is a critical-thinking strategy to be used when answering multiple choice questions. The RACE Model helps you analyze the question stem and determine the correct response. For more detailed information about the RACE Model, see Test Success: Test-Taking Techniques for Beginning Nursing Students by Nugent and Vitale. The RACE Model comprises: R - Recognize the keywords in the stem. A - Ask what the question is asking the nurse to do. C - Critically analyze each option in relation to the information in the stem. E - Eliminate as many options as possible to narrow your choice to the correct response. Some students believe they know the material but have difficulty choosing the correct response when answering multiple choice questions. Using the RACE Model will greatly increase your chances of choosing the correct response. To use it effectively during timed tests, you need to practice. Using the RACE Model as you prepare yourself with the chapter tests will help you. Following is a sample question: 1. A 6-month-old is being seen in the clinic for a well-child checkup. The parents want to know about starting solid foods. How should the nurse counsel them? 1. “Since you started rice cereal from a spoon 2 months ago, you can add a new strained vegetable each week.” 2. “Introduce some mashed fruits first. After the infant is eating that well, start vegetables and rice cereal.” 3. “Infants do best eating solids if you spoon-feed a new strained vegetable every other day to see what their preferences are.” 4. “Add rice cereal to each bottle. Next you can add fruits and vegetables fed by spoon.” Using the RACE Model: R - The client in the stem is the parent. A - The parents want to know how to add solid foods to their infant’s diet. C - Infants start rice cereal between 4 and 6 months. This is fed to the infant by spoon unless there is an indication to place it in the bottle. That is not stated in the stem of this question. Either strained fruits or vegetables are added to the infant’s diet at about 6 months of age. The infant stays on that choice for several days to determine whether the infant is allergic. E - Now you can eliminate choices 2, 3, and 4 because they do not contain choices that you know are correct. The remaining choice is 1, the correct response.
