PREFACE/ DESCRIPTION
The scope of practice of the nurse practitioner (NP) is wide, encompassing the care
of the young, the old, the sick, and the well. This book has been developed to help
the NP develop the knowledge and skills to successfully enter NP practice and earn
certification, an important landmark in professional achievement.
This book represents a perspective on learning and practice developed during
my years of practice at the Greater Lawrence (MA) Family Health Center and as an
NP, author, consultant, and professional speaker. In addition, my experiences
throughout the years of helping thousands of NPs achieve professional success
through conducting Fitzgerald Health Education Associates NP Certification and
Advance Practice Update Courses influenced the development and presentation of
the information held within.
This book is not intended to be a comprehensive clinical text; rather, it is a
source to reinforce learning and a guide for the development of the knowledge base
and critical-thinking skills needed for entry-level NP practice. Indeed, this is the
purpose of the NP boards, to ensure that those who enter NP practice will be safe
practitioners.
Updates for the Seventh Edition
Each chapter has been rigorously edited to present questions that reflect the
blueprint of knowledge required to successfully prepare for and pass the boards.
All content has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest information on
need-to-know guidelines and treatment protocols. Chapters begin with an overview
of key disorders, highlighting the essentials of primary care NP practice. The
numerous tables serve as a quick-look resource not only as the NP prepares for
entry to practice and certification but also in the delivery of ongoing care.
Readers are encouraged to answer the questions provided after each section
and then review the comprehensive rationales-which address all correct answer
choices and all incorrect "distractor" options-to check on the accuracy of their
personal responses.
Print + Bonus Questions Online
The seventh edition of this text comes with an exciting new resource: access to a
free, comprehensive online quiz bank of more than 2,400 questions, including all
questions from the print text plus 1,000 bonus questions. The quiz bank is
mobile-optimized with a friendly interface, enabling users to create their own
custom practice quizzes, take a preset quiz for each chapter, or create their own
comprehensive practice exam of up to 75 questions.
