and the NCLEX-RN
The following table provides an at-a-glance correlation between this textbook and the 2013
NCLEX –RN Test Plan published by the National Council of the State Boards of Nursing.
This correlation may help you plan your study
for the NCLEX exam by focusing on the sections of your textbook that tie most closely to
the exam.
In addition to this correlation chart, the instructor’s test bank for The Developing Person through the
Lifespan is also correlated to the four standards in
the NCLEX text plan.
The NCLEX Test Plan is divided into the four
Client Needs categories that appear below. Some
of the key concepts and topics from this textbook
are correlated to each of these four major categories. Keep in mind, however, that this book explores the life span from an interdisciplinary, multicontextual perspective, and therefore elements
of each category are woven throughout the text.
