Diamond (physician assistant program, Nova Southeastern U.) helps physician assistants and students prepare for the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE) and Physician Assistant National Recertification Examination (PANRE) with this study guide containing about 600 review questions with answers and rationales. He aims to challenge students to think critically, compare and contrast diseases with similar clinical presentations, and add to their medical knowledge base related to various disorders and the areas of history taking and physical examination, laboratory and diagnostic studies, diagnoses, clinical interventions, clinical therapeutics, health maintenance, and applying scientific concepts. The first section contains questions that have more than one correct answer, followed by performance questions based on patient vignettes similar to PANCE and PANRE questions. These have only one correct answer, which are linked to explanations in the first section. Questions are not organized logically, as they are meant to simulate an actual exam. This edition adds more questions and explanations. The CD-ROM contains an additional 950 customizable questions. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
