Pediatric Nurse PractitionerPrimarily intended as a study aid, this text is written in rapid-fire question-and-answer format. This way, readers receive immediate gratification. Moreover, misleading or confusing 'foils' are not provided. This eliminates the risk of erroneously assimilating an incorrect piece of information that made a big impression. Questions themselves often contain a pearl intended to reinforce the answer. Additional 'hooks' are often attached to the answer in various forms, including mnemonics, evoked visual imagery, repetition, and humour. Additional information not requested in the question may be included in the answer. Emphasis has been placed on distilling trivia and key facts that are easily overlooked, that are quickly forgotten, and that somehow seem to be needed on board exams. |
