Prepare your students for success on the CPAN® and CAPA® certification exams with this Q&A review! Certification Review for PeriAnesthesia Nursing, Fifth Edition is written by the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN) — the leading organization for perianesthesia nursing education, research, and practice standards. Reflecting the format of the CPAN and CAPA exams, this book provides more than 800 multiple-choice questions including case study and clinical application questions to test knowledge and critical thinking skills. It also includes answers, rationales, references to current literature, and an online review tool with 175 additional questions for timed test-taking practice. This ASPAN review is the most effective way to prepare students for certification exams in perianesthesia and postanesthesia nursing!
