Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Certification Review

Summary: Fox&Gilman's PNP Certification Review Book
Review: 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.

Review: I think this is a helpful guide, although some of the rationales for the answers were not always clear and could be interpreted very differently. There were also some contradictions and typo os that I found. One specifically states on one page that keflex may not be given to any child under one month, then in an answer to a question in the same chapter state you may give keflex to a 3 week old. I would like to contact the authors or editors to alert them to at least 10 errors I found.
