TNCC Ready is a complete study system for the Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC) 9th edition. Read the lesson, drill the questions, then prove it on a timed exam simulation. COMPLETE 9TH-EDITION COVERAGE 458 original practice questions and 22 in-depth lessons across all 14 content areas: - Trauma systems, triage and the Trauma Nursing Process (C-ABCDE, A–J) - Biomechanics, mechanism of injury and injury prevention - Airway and ventilation - Shock and hemorrhage control - Disability and rapid neurologic assessment - Brain, spinal cord, ocular, maxillofacial and neck trauma - Thoracic trauma - Abdominal and pelvic trauma - Musculoskeletal trauma - Surface and burn trauma - Special populations: pregnant, pediatric, older adult, bariatric and LGBTQ+ patients - Communication, handoff and transition of care - Interpersonal violence, abuse and human trafficking - Disaster and mass casualty incidents - Psychosocial aspects of trauma care LESSONS THAT TEACH Every lesson is written out in full, not bullet-point summaries: reference tables, priority warnings, and an exam-pearls section at the end. About 28,000 words in all, current with the 2021 National Guideline for the Field Triage of Injured Patients and the ATLS 11th edition. QUESTIONS THAT EXPLAIN Scenario-based, prioritization-style questions like the course exam. Every answer explains why it is right and why the tempting alternative is wrong, with a named source. FOUR WAYS TO STUDY - Learn: read a lesson, then practice that topic - Practice: any topic, any length, timed or untimed - Exam simulator: a timed, full-length mixed exam with an 80% pass line - Review: everything you missed, collected automatically Plus study cards and readiness tracking by topic, so you know what to work on next.
