Jill C. Cash, Ann McQueen Blair, L. Douglas Smith Jr. · 3rd Edition · Springer Publishing
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Adult-Gerontology Practice Guidelines (3rd Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 4 chapters.
Overview
Adult-Gerontology Practice Guidelines (3rd Edition) by Cash, Blair, and Smith is a guideline-format clinical reference for adult-gerontology nurse practitioner students and primary-care providers, written as concise, ready-to-use management guidelines for the conditions seen across the adult lifespan. This study guide follows the book's guideline-by-guideline structure, in the same order it is taught, to retain the high-yield decision points exams test. The available chapters include pain management guidelines, dermatology guidelines, obstetrics guidelines, and gynecologic guidelines, and treatment planning. It is an independent, aligned study guide, not the textbook or a copy of it. Because the source is organized as practice guidelines rather than long narrative chapters, this guide concentrates on the must-know presentations, workups, and first-line management for each area so you can recall them quickly during exams and in clinic. Use it to consolidate guideline-based primary-care thinking and prepare for AGNP/FNP course exams.
Aligned with adult-gerontology and family nurse practitioner primary-care courses; the review reinforces the guideline-based diagnosis and management tested on AGNP/FNP course exams and used in certification prep.
