Demetrius Porche · Springer Publishing
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Epidemiology for the Advanced Practice Nurse: A Population Health Approach. Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 24 chapters.
Overview
Epidemiology for the Advanced Practice Nurse: A Population Health Approach by Demetrius Porche is a graduate-level epidemiology text for advanced practice and population-health nursing courses, written to give APRNs the epidemiologic foundation for population-focused practice. This study guide follows it chapter by chapter, in the same order your faculty teach, focusing on the high-yield concepts and measures that exams test. You get the population health framework, including population health, determinants of health, and the APRN role, then epidemiologic concepts: an epidemiology primer, etiology and natural history of disease, morbidity and mortality, screening test validity and reliability, and risk estimation. It continues through observational study designs and epidemiology in practice, covering field, forensic, pandemic, social, infectious disease, environmental, occupational, and ethics. It is an independent, aligned study guide, not the textbook or a copy of it. Use it to consolidate the rates, measures, and study designs that population-health exams reward.
Aligned with graduate advanced practice and population-health epidemiology courses; the review reinforces the epidemiologic measures, study designs, and screening concepts tested on course exams.

Chapters covered
Every chapter below is fully covered in the PDF — summary, learning objectives, key terms, and NCLEX-style practice questions with rationales.
Thinking about RN-to-BSN or MSN?
