As new scientific information becomes available through basic and clinical research, recommended treatments and drug therapies undergo changes. The author(s) and
publisher have done everything possible to make this book accurate, up to date, and in accord with accepted standards at the time of publication. The author(s), editors,
and publisher are not responsible for errors or omissions or for consequences from application of the book, and make no warranty, expressed or implied, in regard to the
contents of the book. Any practice described in this book should be applied by the reader in accordance with professional standards of care used in regard to the unique
circumstances that may apply in each situation. The reader is advised always to check product information (package inserts) for changes and new information regarding
dose and contraindications before administering any drug. Caution is especially urged when using new or infrequently ordered drugs.

,This is our fourth project in writing NCLEX-RN questions for F.A. Davis. We have been in the nursing and teaching
profession for over 30 years, with our goal being to help nursing students successfully pass the nursing program and
become registered nurses. But we also want nurses to care for clients by applying both the art and science of nursing. We
hope you will enjoy your nursing career as much as we have over the last three decades. This book would not be possible
without the unbelievable computer skills of Glada Norris and input from Kathryn McAfee. We would also like to extend
our appreciation to the gang at West Coast University for their invaluable assistance in piloting these questions.
I dedicate this book to the memory of my mother, Mary Cadenhead, and grandmother, Elsie Rogers. They always
said that I could accomplish anything I wanted to accomplish. I also dedicate this book to my husband, Larry; children,
Laurie, Todd, Larry Jr, and Mai; and grandchildren, Chris, Ashley, Justin C., Justin A. Connor, Sawyer, and Carson.
Without their support and patience, the book would not have been possible.
Kathryn Cadenhead Colgrove
I thank my nursing students for always keeping me on my toes and making sure I learn something new every day.
I thank my nursing peers and teaching colleagues for helping me to be the best nurse and teacher I can be. I thank all
my friends for providing me with wonderful experiences and memories. I thank my family for always loving me just the
way I am. I thank my sisters, Gail and Debbie; my nephew, Ben; and Paula for always supporting the choices I make in
life, especially my move to Los Angeles to become the Associate Dean of Nursing at West Coast University. I thank my
children, Teresa and Aaron, being wonderful young people of whom I am so proud and who are always there for me.
I dedicate this book to my parents and to my husband, Bill, who supported me and allowed me to travel a wonderful
journey in my life.
