Family Practice Guidelines
Jill C. Cash · 6th Edition · ISBN 9780826183668 · Springer Publishing
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Family Practice Guidelines (6th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 24 chapters.
Overview
Cash's Family Practice Guidelines (6th Edition) is a clinical reference widely used by nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and advanced practice nursing students, organizing primary care management guidance by body system and condition. It is structured as practical guidelines covering health maintenance and public health, pain management, and then system-by-system care — dermatology, eye, ear, nose, throat and mouth, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary conditions — along with obstetric and gynecologic care, sexually transmitted and infectious diseases, systemic and musculoskeletal disorders, and neurological, endocrine, rheumatological, and psychiatric guidelines. This study guide is built to match the reference chapter for chapter, so you review in the same order it is organized and can focus on the assessment, differential, and management points that matter most in clinical practice and on exams. It is an independent, aligned study guide — not the reference itself and not a reproduction of it — designed to surface the high-yield guidelines and clinical reasoning so you can review efficiently for coursework and certification-relevant material.
Aligned with nurse practitioner and advanced practice nursing courses in primary and family care, supporting clinical coursework and the kind of management-focused content seen in NP certification preparation.
