Synopsis

For RNs preparing to take the NP examination for certification as a Family or Adult Nurse Practitioner, this review book provides an upper hand to passing and excelling on the exam. Unlike other certification reviews, this book provides a special ""question dissection"" section of sample questions and test tips that help reduce test anxiety by preparing students for commonly seen questions and teach a critical thinking approach to answers. Special features include: an overview of normal findings in physical assessment by organ systems in outline format; succinct review of diseases seen in primary care in outline format; and a ""Question dissection"" chapter with specific test-taking tips for the exam. This new fast fact approach is the ultimate security blanket for RNs who have not started their study process or need a quick refresher right before the exam. Maria Leik has been a leading provider of exam preparation education and counseling for almost 20 years. Her company National ARNP Services, Inc. has helped thousands of nurses pass their certification exams nationwide.
