Overview
Essential Procedures for Emergency, Urgent, and Primary Care Settings: A Clinical Companion (3rd Edition) by Campo and Lafferty is a procedural reference for clinicians in emergency, urgent, and primary care, organized as step-by-step procedure guides. This study guide follows the book's unit-by-unit structure, in the same order it is taught, to retain the high-yield indications, technique, and complications that exams and clinical checkoffs test. The available units cover the basics of patient procedures, managing pain with injectable anesthetics, examination of common eye injuries, common nasal and oral injuries, common musculoskeletal injuries, and common gastrointestinal and genitourinary conditions. It is an independent, aligned study guide, not the textbook or a copy of it. Because the source is procedural, this guide emphasizes when to use each procedure, the key steps, and the pitfalls to avoid. Use it to consolidate emergency and urgent-care procedural knowledge for NP skills exams and clinical practice.
Aligned with nurse practitioner emergency, urgent, and primary-care procedural courses; the review reinforces the procedure indications, technique, and complications tested on NP skills exams and clinical checkoffs.

Is this good for NP procedural skills exams?
Yes. It emphasizes indications, step-by-step technique, and complications for each procedure, which is what skills exams and clinical checkoffs assess.
Why are only some units listed?
The available table of contents for this edition lists a focused set of units. The guide reviews those units faithfully rather than inventing procedures the source doesn't list.
Can this replace hands-on training?
No. It reinforces the cognitive knowledge behind each procedure, but competence requires the textbook and supervised, hands-on practice.

This guide is built around the 3rd Edition. If your class uses a different edition, chapter numbering may shift slightly, but the topics and learning objectives are usually unchanged.
Do I still need the textbook?
