It also has example test questions. It is a good resource to help you study, but if you will be taking both the LPN and RN like I did (I sat for the LPN when I was partly through RN school), you will only need one of these books, with the LON or the RN, because they are pretty much exactly the same thing, with the exact same questions. The only thing that changes is the perspective… ie. “You are the charge RN just starting your shift and are assigning patients, which patient would you give to the LPN?” vs. “You are an LPN just starting your shift, what patient would the charge RN assign to you?” The questions are worded from different perspectives, but the responses are identical. Don’t buy both books!! Review: DON'T SCRATCH YOUR CODE PEEL IT OFF! - I recently brought the book and thought I had the defective code issues. The problem is that it is not a scratch-off code; you must carefully peel the sticker off and hold it to a light to see the code. It worked perfectly for me. I hope this helps anyone who buys this book in the future.
