Overview
Textbook for the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner: Evidence-Based Standards of Practice by Fuller and McCauley is a comprehensive clinical text for AGACNP programs, organized around the evidence-based management of acutely and critically ill adult and older-adult patients. This study guide follows it chapter by chapter, in the same order your faculty teach, focusing on the high-yield assessment and management content that drives exams and certification. You get the development of the ACNP role, then a system-by-system walk through acute care: HEENT, cardiovascular disorders and surgery, thoracic surgery, vascular, pulmonary, endocrine, hematologic/oncologic, gastrointestinal, kidney, genitourinary/gynecologic, integumentary, musculoskeletal, and neurologic disorders, plus psychosocial and cognitive health, infectious disease, trauma, and pain management. It is an independent, aligned study guide, not the textbook or a copy of it. Use it to consolidate acute-care differentials and management and prepare for AGACNP course exams and certification.
Aligned with adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioner programs; the review supports AGACNP certification-style preparation and the acute-care management questions tested on graduate course exams.
