Emergency Nurse Practitioner Core Curriculum
AAENP (Holleran, Campo, eds.) · 1st Edition
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Emergency Nurse Practitioner Core Curriculum (1st Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 55 chapters.
Overview
Emergency Nurse Practitioner Core Curriculum (1st Edition) is a comprehensive 55-chapter text organized into seven sections, moving from the foundations of ENP practice through medical emergencies, shock and trauma, environmental emergencies, toxicology, EMS and disaster preparedness, and special patient populations. This study guide is written from scratch to follow that same structure, so you review in the same order the American Academy of Emergency Nurse Practitioners' contributors present the material and always know where an emergency topic belongs. For every chapter you get a plain-English summary of the key concepts, learning objectives laid out up front, and exam-style practice questions with a full rationale for every answer, so it teaches you why each choice is right or wrong rather than just handing you a key. You'll start with foundational skills — clinical decision making, resuscitation, procedures, and ethics — then move through medical emergencies system by system, before covering shock, multisystem trauma, and injuries by body region. From there you'll work through environmental emergencies, toxicology and substance use disorders, EMS operations and disaster preparedness, before finishing with special populations including pregnant, pediatric, geriatric, and vulnerable patients. Every chapter is matched to how the 1st Edition organizes the material so your review stays aligned with the ENP certification blueprint. As you study you'll practice the rapid, high-stakes clinical reasoning both ENP certification exams and real emergency department triage demand, moving fluently across body systems, trauma mechanisms, and special populations, and you'll build the habit of narrowing a differential fast under time pressure, the same skill the exam and the ED both reward. Whether you're prepping for an exam or building the foundation for ENP practice, this printable companion is built to be highlighted, annotated, and kept for the whole program. Original, independently written, and not affiliated with the publisher.
Aligned with Emergency Nurse Practitioner (ENP) certification exam preparation — the practice questions mirror how the certification exam and clinical practice both test rapid, full-scope emergency clinical reasoning.
