Advanced Practice Nursing Procedures
Margaret R. Colyar · 2nd Edition · ISBN 9780826173713 · F.A. Davis Company
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Advanced Practice Nursing Procedures (2nd Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 13 chapters.
Overview
Advanced Practice Nursing Procedures (2nd Edition) by Margaret R. Colyar is a hands-on procedural reference for nurse practitioner and advanced practice programs, organized as step-by-step protocols for the bedside and office procedures APRNs perform. This study guide follows the book's section-by-section format, in the same order it is taught, to retain the high-yield indications, technique steps, and complications that exams and clinical checkoffs test. You get dermatological procedures such as punch biopsy, incision and drainage of abscesses, and management of bites, plus the broader range of procedures the book covers, including gastric lavage, inguinal hernia reduction, and thrombosed hemorrhoid removal. It is an independent, aligned study guide, not the textbook or a copy of it. Because the source is procedural, this guide emphasizes indications, contraindications, key steps, and aftercare for each procedure so you can recall them under exam pressure. Use it to consolidate procedural knowledge and prepare for NP skills exams and clinical practice.
Aligned with nurse practitioner and advanced practice procedural and skills courses; the review reinforces the indications, technique steps, and complications tested on NP skills exams and clinical checkoffs.
