• • Mosby’s® Prep Guide for the Canadian PN Exam has been developed to provide practical
    nursing students with practice exams to aid in the preparation of completing the
    licensure exam. As nursing educators, we recognize that students not only require a
    broad knowledge of nursing theory, but they also need to feel confident answering the
    particular type of questions found on the licensure exam. For many, the problem is not
    a lack of nursing knowledge but rather a lack of ability to apply their knowledge in the
    exam situation.
    You have probably purchased this text for the practice exams, but don’t skip over the
    chapters on exam descriptions and tips for writing questions. They provide valuable
    guidelines for mastering multiple-choice questions.
    Most students in their respective nursing education programs have not had sufficient
    experience with the specific format of the questions found on the licensure exam. The
    licensure exam is unique in several important ways:
    ■ There is a high ratio of critical-thinking questions, where all options may be
    correct but one of the options is the most correct. Or many different aspects of a
    situation must be analyzed in order to select the most appropriate answer. This
    problem-solving process may be difficult for students who are used to cramming
    the night before an exam and then regurgitating memorized facts the next day.
    ■ Most questions incorporate scope of practice, asking what the nurse would do in
    a particular situation, rather than testing knowledge of medical treatments.
    ■ Questions are written within the framework of practical nursing practice in
    Canada. Most available review texts are published in the United States and are
    based on the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses
    (NCLEX-PN), which does not test the Canadian practical nurse competencies.
    Questions included in this book are based on the 2020 entry-level/entry-to-practice
    competencies for practical nurses. They have been authored to include preventive and
    primary health care, teaching and learning, professional practice, therapeutic
    relationships, and current developments in health care. Each question has been
    authored by nursing experts, reviewed by nursing experts, and referenced to
    established resources.
    This prep guide includes three complete practice exams. Each exam consists of 200
    case and independent questions, for a total of 600 questions in the three exams.
