Description
About the Book
"Welcome to the Clinical Rotation Manual for the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Student. This book is designed to prepare the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner student for those complicated and complex clinical situations you may not have yet explored fully in the didactic part of your program. When I was an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Student myself, I recognized there were not resources specifically designed for the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. As I began my practice and began to precept, I noticed that no new resources had been developed. And after several years of precepting nurse practitioner students, I received a lot of feedback that certain disease processes had not yet been covered in their course work, often leading to frustration and difficulty working through complex differential diagnoses during clinical rotations"--Book Synopsis

This author has taken great care to write this book in an easy-to-read-and-follow format to meet the needs of acutely ill patients while providing high-quality, cost-effective care."

From the Foreword
Written specifically for the AGNP-AC student or the incoming Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, this handy guide provides a quick but thorough reference on the basics of the many complex challenges encountered in the clinical rotation portion of the AGNP-AC curriculum. Conveniently spiral-bound, it covers key skills such as patient assessment, billing, labs, imaging, and major diagnoses, among many others in a bulleted format for on-the-go comprehension. Chapters are deliberately designed to aid in surmounting practice knowledge gaps by synthesizing resources often found in disparate references, making them easily accessible and pertinent to the AGNP student.
Organized by body system, this text covers a wide array acute care conditions. Each diagnosis is broken down into cause, assessment findings, diagnostics, and treatment and management. Every chapter provides a wealth of "clinical tips and tricks" boxes that summarize key information so the reader can avoid common mistakes in acute care. This resource concludes with a special "billing" section that received praise from reviewers for its usefulness. Content is presented in a straightforward, accessible style based on the author's many years of clinical expertise in precepting to help make the challenging clinical rotation in this high-acuity specialty a great transition to practice experience.
