Overview

Fitzgerald's Nurse Practitioner Certification Exam Prep (7th Edition) is a trusted review resource for nurse practitioner students preparing for board certification, organized by body system and clinical topic. This study guide is built to follow the book chapter by chapter, covering health promotion and disease prevention and then the major clinical areas: neurological, skin, eye-ear-nose-and-throat, cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, genitourinary and reproductive, musculoskeletal, peripheral vascular, endocrine, renal, hematologic, and immunologic disorders. It also reviews psychosocial disorders, women's health, care of older adults, pediatrics, childbearing, and professional issues. The aim is to help you reinforce the high-yield assessment, diagnosis, and management content the way it is tested on the FNP, AGNP, and related certification exams, without rereading the whole book.
