I don't know if it's available in your area. But I bought these books in National Books Store. You may also visit its website at www.nclexreview.net. I hope this will help.

Lippincott's has a book with new format questions for around $6. There are two editions. Buy both!

I'll see if I can find the content she said is typical for those types of questions and get back with you.

Here's something else that was good: she said that if there's a delegation question about who to assign the float nurse to, you always choose the school age child (6-12) because they're the most like a med surg adult patient. So far, that trick has worked every time.

Maslow's - physiological needs first, if those are met, it's safety, etc.
Communication Theory (often seen in mental health), will be answered with the feeling answer. No "why" answers, offer self, open-ended and feelings.
Teaching Learning Theory - focus on motication to learn
Nursing Process - often the first thing the nurse should do is assess.
