For pediatric nurse practitioners and family nurse practitioners preparing to take certification exams, this text reviews, in an outline format, growth and development, health promotion and maintenance, and common disorders by body system, with information on their etiology, signs and symptoms, clinical findings, differential diagnoses, tests, and management and treatment. Silbert-Flagg and Sloand (Johns Hopkins U. School of Nursing) include discussion of test taking strategies and pediatric nurse practitioner role development, current trends, policy issues such as credentialing, legal issues, legislation, reimbursement, and delivery systems. Test questions conclude each of the 16 chapters, which are by pediatric nurse practitioners and specialists from the US. The book is a revision of the 2004 text published by Virginia Layng Millonig and Caryl Mobley. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
