Fetal and Neonatal Pharmacology for the Advanced Practice Nurse
Amy Jnah, Christopher McPherson · Springer Publishing
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Fetal and Neonatal Pharmacology for the Advanced Practice Nurse. Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 21 chapters.
Overview
Fetal and Neonatal Pharmacology for the Advanced Practice Nurse by Jnah and McPherson is a specialized text for neonatal nurse practitioner and advanced neonatal nursing programs, focused on how drugs behave in the fetus and newborn and how to prescribe safely in this fragile population. This study guide follows it chapter by chapter, in the same order it is taught, locking in the high-yield principles and condition-specific pharmacology that exams and clinical practice demand. You get the basic principles first, including pediatric drug regulation, prescriptive authority, neonatal pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenomics, and perinatal and newborn nursery medications and vaccines. From there it moves into the common problems neonatal providers manage pharmacologically, including CNS issues like neonatal abstinence syndrome, apnea of prematurity, and critical congenital heart defects. It is an independent, aligned study guide, not the textbook or a copy of it. Use it to consolidate neonatal drug therapy and prepare for course exams and NNP certification.
Aligned with neonatal nurse practitioner and advanced neonatal nursing programs; the review supports NNP certification-style preparation and the drug-therapy questions tested on graduate neonatal course exams.

Who is this study guide aimed at?
It is geared toward neonatal nurse practitioner students and advanced practice nurses caring for newborns, reinforcing the fetal and neonatal pharmacology covered in NNP-level coursework.
Does it cover the disease-specific drug therapy?
Yes. It reviews both the foundational principles and the condition-specific pharmacology for common CNS and respiratory neonatal problems, mirroring the textbook's two-part structure.
Is this the textbook itself?
No. It is an independent, aligned study guide. Keep the textbook and current neonatal drug references on hand for complete dosing and clinical detail.
Will it match my edition?
This guide is built around the current edition. If your class uses a different edition, chapter numbering may shift slightly, but the topics and learning objectives are usually unchanged.
Do I still need the textbook?
The study guide is a companion, not a replacement — it helps you study efficiently and review fast, but you'll still want the textbook for full depth and any assigned readings. You can buy new, rent, or find a used copy through the price links on this page.
