Overview
* Measure your knowledge and skills of deduction across clinical medicine
• Make learning and revision easy and fun, and practice for your exams. In our new Key Questions Answered series, Paediatrics KQA has been to help the clinical medicine student learn and revise their paediatrics. Designed to be used on its own for revision and additional learning, this book can also be used to complement the Paediatrics: Understanding Child Health (An Oxford Core Text). Taking an integrative approach, this book covers the undergraduate medical curriculum and the Diploma of Child Health, giving a broad base of questions both knowledge based and data-interpretive and reasoning, and has full answers which contain additional learning points. There are more than 200 key questions testing both knowledge, data interpretation and reasoning skills. It also includes a section on how to approach MCQs: For example; commonly this means something is often encountered or its association is not a surprise. Rarely here the association is well-recognised but uncommon.
The book contains no figures.

Pediatrics is a diverse specialty requiring comprehensive knowledge in a patient population ranging from tiny, premature infants to young adults. As a result, students often have a difficult time focusing their study needs in this area. This book offers a general review of the field of pediatrics presented in a multiple choice question and extended answer format. "This book is presented as ideal for exam preparation. Practice tests are used to identify areas of knowledge deficit, and to overcome technical inefficiency in test-taking skills. It is intended as an adjunct to the standard pediatric texts, and successfully achieves its objectives as a review and study guide. "The book is designed for the junior student in clinical medicine. With a broad overview of the field, this text would also be an excellent resource for senior medical students entering pediatric residency training, and for allied health professionals such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners. "The undergraduate medical curriculum is covered, providing a basic review of pediatrics. The introduction presents an excellent discussion of the construction of multiple choice questions and test-taking techniques. Knowledge, data interpretation, and reasoning skills are addressed in each chapter. Throughout the book, the author has included boxes containing organized lists or tables summarizing key information presented in each chapter. Subjects not reviewed in this book include adolescence, pediatric gynecology, genetics, allergy, and child psychiatry. These are essential elements of pediatrics and should be included in future editions. "This is a useful resource for students, providing a broad review of thefield of pediatrics and a practical primer on test-taking skills. The information is clear and appropriately focused toward medical student needs.
