Maternal and Newborn Success: A Q&A Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking (Davis’s Q&A Success) by Margot R. De Sevo PhD LCCE RNC-OB is a comprehensive guide designed for students seeking mastery in maternal and newborn nursing knowledge while enhancing their critical-thinking and test-taking skills. This third edition, published by F.A. Davis Company on November 9, 2016, spans 528 pages and aligns with the latest NCLEX-RN® 2016 Test Plan.

Featuring approximately 1,300 multiple-choice and alternate-format questions, this book covers the latest advances in maternal-newborn nursing. It includes detailed rationales for both correct and incorrect answers, helping readers critically analyze question types. The alternate-format questions—such as fill-in-the-blank and select all that apply (SATA)—provide additional practice.

The easy-to-follow format mirrors course content, making complex information more manageable. Students have praised the book’s utility, noting its critical role in preparing for tests and developing essential analytical skills. As one student commented, “This book was my lifeline. The way the questions are worded prepared me for how the tests were going to be and by studying the rationales as well, I was able to critically think through the questions I wasn’t sure of.”

Whether you’re a nursing student or preparing for the NCLEX-RN®, Maternal and Newborn Success is an invaluable resource that ensures your preparation is thorough and effective.
