Overview
Primary Care: The Art and Science of Advanced Practice Nursing (6th Edition) by Dunphy, Winland-Brown, Porter, and Thomas is a comprehensive primary-care text for nurse practitioner students, built around the Circle of Caring model. This study guide is built to follow it chapter by chapter, so you review in the same order your instructor teaches — from primary care in the twenty-first century, caring and the APN, health promotion, the art of diagnosis and treatment, and evidence-based practice, and then through the major body systems with their common complaints and specific disorders: neurological, skin, eye, ENT, respiratory, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal conditions, among others. It pulls out the high-yield differential diagnoses, diagnostic workups, and treatment approaches you need for exams and clinical decision-making. It is an independent, aligned study companion — not the textbook itself and not a reproduction of its content.
Aligned with nurse practitioner primary-care and management-of-the-adult courses, supporting course exams and the diagnosis-and-management content tested on NP certification exams.
