This unique review book is intended to help nurses prepare for the certificate examination for post anesthesia nursing (CPAN) or for anesthesia ambulatory nursing (CAPA). Cross-referenced to ASPAN's Core Curriculum for Post Anesthesia Nursing Practice, 3/e this text is the only review book available for post anesthesia and ambulatory surgical nursing certification. Includes over 600 test questions, written in the same form as those found on the certification exam. Offers patient-focused scenarios that illustrate a critical thinking approach to patients. Focuses only on the clinical situations that emphasize effects of medications, anesthesia, and organ function following surgery.
Excellent review for the PACU RN seeking certification. I repeated the practice exams over & over, studied in depth the questions I answered incorrectly and passed the certification exam on the first attempt. Was also helpful to participate in a zoom review seminar with the author sponsored by ASPAN.
