Overview
Women's Healthcare in Advanced Practice Nursing (3rd Edition) by Alexander, Johnson-Mallard, Kostas-Polston, and Cappiello is a graduate text for women's health, family, and adult-gerontology nurse practitioner programs, taking a whole-woman, lifespan view of women's health and the social context around it. This study guide follows it chapter by chapter, in the same order your faculty teach, focusing on the high-yield clinical and contextual content these courses test. You get women and their health, women and the healthcare workforce, women and healthcare, and the impact of oppression, racism, and income inequity on outcomes, plus legal issues and feminist theory as a model for care. It continues through women's bodies and health, young, midlife, and older women's health, well-woman care, mental health, nutrition, and fertility self-management. It is an independent, aligned study guide, not the textbook or a copy of it. Use it to consolidate the lifespan women's health and health-equity content that graduate course exams and WHNP certification prep reward.
Aligned with women's health, family, and adult-gerontology nurse practitioner programs; the review reinforces the lifespan women's health and health-equity content tested on graduate course exams and WHNP certification prep.
