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.
