This comprehensive study package is designed for prospective nursing students preparing for the HESI A2 Critical Thinking subtest. It includes a "package deal" of questions from Versions 1, 2, and 3, featuring high-fidelity clinical scenarios. Key learning objectives focus on triage prioritization—such as identifying life-threatening injuries in pediatric trauma—and effective therapeutic communication techniques. The resource provides detailed rationales for every answer, helping candidates master the nurse’s role in assessment, patient safety, and decision-making under pressure.
