Editorial Reviews for Respiratory Care Exam Review: Review for the Entry Level and Advanced Exams
|
Respiratory Care Exam Review is designed to provide students with a complete, hands-on review for both the Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) exam and both the written registry and clinical simulation portions of the Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) exam. The material is presented in a detailed outline format, and each chapter includes pretest and post-chapter questions.
- Pre-test questions and post-chapter study questions help students test their knowledge.
- Helpful boxes, such as Exam Note boxes, highlight special notes or instructions specific to either the entry level or advanced exam to help students use their study time more effectively.
- Includes two practice exams (one for entry level and one for advanced) in the back of the book with rationales for correct or incorrect answers.
- The accompanying CD-ROM features two additional practice exams, plus 10 clinical simulations, to give students another chance to practice with the NBRC format and familiarize themselves with the computerized exam format.
- The ten clinical simulations on the accompanying CD-ROM simulate those used on the NBRC Clinical Simulations to give students a chance to practice this difficult portion of the Registry Exam.
- Features new information on nitric oxide, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET).
- Includes revised discussions of tracheal stoma care, asthma classifications, and treatment protocols.
- Every chapter has been revised to reflect the latest NBRC Examination Matrix content outline.

Summary: Could be better
Comment: I got this as a current update in respiratory therapy since I have been out of the field for a few years. There is a lot of good information in it; but, beware of the amount of outdated material. For example, does anyone still wait until a ventilator patient is on 60% before they add PEEP? It's not an altogether waste of time and money; but, it does need some serious updating.
Customer Rating:
Summary: PRACTICAL AND EASY TO REVIEW
Comment: I highly recommend this review book for RT graduates who plan to take the CRT exam. The book is simple, easy to read, and direct to the point. It is handy and yet very comprehensive. Very good reviewer. Go for it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Do NOT Buy This Book!
Comment: When I purchased this book, I intended for it to supplement the knowledge that I gained during the three years attaining a bachelors in Respiratory Care; instead, I spent much of my time thinking, "that's no correct" and looking up "correct" information from the internet and other respiratory texts.
This book is FULL of WRONG information, incorrectly answered practice questions, typos, pre/post chapter study questions that are misplaced in chapters before the material covered by the question has been discussed, information NEVER discussed is tested in the "Practice RRT" exam at the back of the book...the list goes on and on.
I implore you to save your money and NOT purchase this book. I myself plan to contact the publisher to receive a refund because it is one thing to have a few mistakes in a book but this text goes above and beyond in the mistakes department where it is a TOTAL waste of your valuable study time.
If you are looking for a good RRT & CRT review go to the NBRC webpage for FREE and get the complete content matrixes - then look up the material you feel that you need to be refreshed with in your Egans Fundamental of Respiratory Care or the Essentials of Respiratory Care text. This is preparing you much more for the actual exams. Also, if you are looking for practice exams the NBRC webpage also has FREE CRT, RRT and Clinical Sims exams that will show you EXACTLY how the test real test will be.
GOOD LUCK to all future RT's & remember DO NOT BUY "Respiratory Care Exam Review: Review for the Entry Level and Advanced Exams by Gary Persing"
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very good review source
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. The shortcuts and material was easy to understand and helped me prepare for the RRT exam. I was able to attend one of Mr. Persing's seminars. He is an awesome instructor. If you ever have the opportunity to go to one, do it. It is well worth the money.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A good place to prepare yourself
Comment: If you want to have a clearer idea of what you are going to find in the CRT test this book will help you. the terminology is real simple, going straight to the point, pointing out what to focus on that will be on the test and what will not. You won't loose time on information that you don't need. It really help me.
