Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Prep: Proven Strategies + Content Review (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Prep: Proven Strategies + Content Review (en Inglés)"
Kaplan's Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Prep is your step-by-step guide to success on the FNP exam, with review and practice for FNP exams from both credentialing organizations—the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). This Second Edition is thoroughly reworked and updated to focus on how to apply clinical skills, using a problem-solving approach to diagnosis and management.
Here’s what makes our guide stand apart:
Focus on chief concerns. The book is organized around chief concerns rather than traditional body-system formats, offering a more intuitive, real-world approach to generating the differential diagnosis. Common chief concerns are then broken down by body system. Case-based approach. Each chapter features a patient scenario, with guided discussion to strengthen your clinical reasoning and understanding. Learn by example. Follow along as an experienced clinician applies a problem-solving approach to the diagnosis and management of the patient’s chief concern. Concise outline format. Short paragraphs and bullet points put the information that’s most crucial for exam success front and center.
Created and reviewed by experienced mid-level clinicians and educators, this versatile resource is suitable for all clinicians, especially those at the entry level seeking clarity and confidence in generating the differential diagnosis.
