This is the complete resource for Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment: Practice Exercises for the NCLEX-RN Examination, 5th Edition by Linda A. LaCharity, Candice K. Kumagai, and Shirley M. Hosler — the gold standard workbook for mastering three of the most heavily tested and most commonly failed skill sets on the NCLEX-RN. At 603 pages, this edition covers the full scope of prioritization, delegation, and assignment decision-making through real-world clinical scenarios, NCLEX-style questions, and extensive rationales — now updated to include Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) question formats. The resource is organized across three parts. Part 1 lays the conceptual foundation with guidelines for prioritization, delegation, and assignment decisions, including scope of practice distinctions between RNs, LPNs/LVNs, and assistive personnel, supervision responsibilities, and state-specific regulatory considerations. Part 2 delivers chapter-by-chapter practice exercises spanning 23 clinical content areas — opening with pain management, then moving through cancer, immunologic problems, fluid and electrolyte and acid-base balance, and continuing through cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, renal, endocrine, integumentary, reproductive health, pediatrics, psychiatric nursing, and long-term care. Each chapter challenges you to decide what to prioritize, what to delegate, who to assign, and how to supervise — with in-depth correct answer rationales tied to QSEN quality and safety categories, cognitive levels, and IPEC interprofessional competencies. Part 3 brings everything together through comprehensive case studies that simulate real charge nurse decision-making across multiple patient assignments. New to the fifth edition are expanded medication-related questions throughout every chapter, LGBTQIA-inclusive patient scenarios, and evidence-based updates across all content areas — making this the most current and complete edition available.
