Nurse Anesthesia

From The Critics

Reviewer: Ada R. Davis, PhD, APRN,BC, ELS(Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing)
Description: This comprehensive review of all major topics related to nurse anesthesia includes 450 questions on those areas included in the certification examination. It covers anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology; pharmacology; equipment, instrumentation, and technology; basic principles; advanced principles; and professional issues.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide specific questions with well-referenced answers and rationale that will allow readers to follow a well-organized plan of study that prepares them to successfully pass the certification examination. Practicing nurse anesthetists can also use the question-and-answer format to update their knowledge.
Audience: The targeted audience are nurse anesthetists, both new graduates preparing to take the certification examination for the first time, and practicing nurse-anesthetists who wish to review and update their knowledge by means of this self-assessment guide,
Features: The questions are purposefully developed to cover all major content areas that are included in the certification examination and general knowledge needed by all practicing nurse-anesthetists. All questions are clearly stated and address only one main concept, and answers are direct, with rationale that supports the answer and clarifies specific points.
Assessment: This self-assessing, comprehensive review book provides an organized, structured, and specific guide for preparing to take the certification examination for the first time, or to take the renewal examination required of all practicing nurse anesthetists. The questions are clear, and the multiple choice answers are appropriate and specific. I highly recommend it for new and experienced nurse anesthetists for both study and review of required content needed for quality care of perioperative patients.
