This pediatric review guide was a great study tool, especially the questions at the end of each chapter. The questions were similiar to many of the questions on the board exam which I took in June 2008.

This review is from: Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Certification Review, 1e (Paperback)

While the book had helpful information throughout the chapters, the questions were not as helpful. The questions were wordy (and the test is NOT that wordy) and I found at least one mistake in every section. The mistakes either had the wrong answer printed or it contradicted what was stated in the chapter. I did really enjoy the fact that this book provided explainations to each question which helped me work through my mistakes (and find theirs).

Overall, the book was helpful in some ways, but I ended up using another book towards the end because of frustration with the questions. The chapter information was quite helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fox&Gilman's PNP Certification Review Book, February 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Certification Review, 1e (Paperback)

Definitely worth purchasing as a PNP certification review book and as a general pediatric review book. Text is divided into systems and includes an excellent outline as an overview for each chapter. In addition, this book addresses growth and development, safety, parenting, genetics, health promotion, common pediatric illness, and numerous other issues. Includes clearly written and useful tables and charts. Easy to use, organized, well-written questions. Answers to questions,with rationales, are immediately following the questions, so there is no need to search through the book to find the answer sections! Compared with other certification review books, this one is clearly superior in its organization, coverage of current issues, outlines for each chapter, visual displays, and clarity.
