Review of Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Review (Paperback)

While I was using this book to prep for my AANP exam, I kept thinking to myself that the questions in this book were not like the questions I had seen in other preparatory courses and books. The sample questions go into such minutia and are not reflective of broader concepts and critical thinking that are needed for the exam. Also, there were quite a few mistakes and typos in the book. Perhaps this book is more reflective of the ANCC exam content...but I doubt it. The disc was OK, some of the test questions on the disc did not go into great rationales for correct and incorrect answers. Fitzgerald's review materials are much better and far more reflective of exam content.

Product Description
This outstanding, comprehensive review resource provides the necessary tools to prepare for the Family Nurse Practitioner certification exam, with over 1,300 multiple-choice review questions based on the actual exam content and format. Clinical chapters are organized by body system, and are subdivided into three sections: Physical Exam and Diagnostic Tests; Disorders; and Pharmacology. Answers and rationales are provided at the end of each chapter. Other chapters include test questions that focus on growth and development, general health supervision and maintenance, and professional competencies inherent in the role of the ANP. A new CD-ROM contains all of the questions from the book to generate an unlimited number of 175-question sample exams designed to match the length and question distribution of the actual FNP certification exams.

Review of Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism (Hardcover)

If you want (or need) to go deep into nutrition, this is the book. Very well organized and researched information. Covers in depth nutritional physiology and biochemistry. I used this book in an advanced undergraduate nutrition course and I consider it one of my prized possessions. If there is a better book on the subject, I would like to know about it.
