Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Kathleen M. Woodruff, DNP, RN, ANP-BC(USC School of Social Work)
Description: This is a comprehensive resource for family nurse practitioners (FNP) preparing for either the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or American Academy of Nurse Practitioner Certification Board (AANPCB) certification exam. Originally published in 1999, the book was last updated in 2004.
Purpose: The purpose is to assist students in preparing for either certification exam. The book is also an excellent study tool for current nurse practitioner students preparing for course exams. The author does an excellent job achieving her stated goals. The online resources are well organized and user-friendly.
Audience: Recent FNP graduates and current students will benefit from this excellent resource. It is a comprehensive review for the topics covered on the certification exam and it does a good job improving test-taking skills. The author is an expert in the field and a skilled educator. The third edition ensures the presentation of accurate, current, and evidence-based information.
Features: The first of the book's seven sections provides specific information on both certification exams. This section presents questions, which are then clearly and succinctly dissected to determine the correct answers. One section is devoted to pharmacology. Another section goes through a head-to-toe systems review. Sections on reproduction, pediatrics, adolescents, geriatrics, and professional issues are also presented. The final section includes practice questions with answers.
Assessment: The combination of the print and online version of this review creates a complete package. This comprehensive, intensive review will provide students with a framework to organize their studying. This book is not intended as a primary resource, but as a comprehensive review that will help students prepare for the certification exam in a time-efficient and effective manner.
