FNP Certification Intensive Review
Leik · 5th Edition
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with FNP Certification Intensive Review (5th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 33 chapters.
Overview
FNP Certification Intensive Review (5th Edition) is organized into 8 sections covering exam strategy, pharmacology and health screening, a full systems review, reproductive health, pediatrics and adolescents, gerontology, professional role topics, and practice tests. This study guide is an original, independently written companion built around that same section-by-section structure, so you review in the same order Maria Leik organizes the material and always know where a topic belongs. For every section you get a plain-English summary of the key concepts, learning objectives laid out up front, and its own exam-style practice questions with full rationales — written from scratch, not pulled from the review book's own question bank. You'll start with certification exam strategy and question-dissection skills, then move through pharmacology and health screening, before working through a full body-systems review spanning HEENT, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, GI, GU, neurologic, hematopoietic, musculoskeletal, and psychiatric-mental health content. From there you'll cover reproductive health across the lifespan, pediatrics from newborns through adolescents, gerontology-specific content, and professional-role topics like ethics and reimbursement. Every section is matched to how the 5th Edition organizes the material so your review stays aligned with the FNP certification blueprint. As you study you'll practice the full-scope, across-the-lifespan clinical reasoning both the ANCC and AANP certification exams test, moving fluently from newborn care through geriatrics, and you'll build the habit of narrowing down plausible-but-wrong answer choices, the core skill certification-style multiple choice testing rewards. Whether you're using this alongside the review book or as a standalone refresher, this printable companion is built to be highlighted, annotated, and kept through your whole exam prep, from your first read-through all the way to test day. Original, independently written, and not affiliated with the publisher.
Aligned with the ANCC and AANP Family Nurse Practitioner certification exam blueprints — the practice questions mirror how these exams test full-scope, across-the-lifespan clinical reasoning.
