This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHPN Exam Practice Questions are the simplest way to prepare for the Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse Examination. Practice is an essential part of preparing for a test and improving a test taker's chance of success. The best way to practice taking a test is by going through lots of practice test questions. Our CHPN Exam Practice Questions give you the opportunity to test your knowledge on a set of questions. You can know everything that is going to be covered on the test and it will not do you any good on test day if you have not had a chance to practice. Repetition is a key to success and using practice test questions allows you to reinforce your strengths and improve your weaknesses. Detailed answer explanations are also included for each question. It may sound obvious, but you have to know which questions you missed (and more importantly why you missed them) to be able to avoid making the same mistakes again when you take the real test. That's why our CHPN Exam Practice Questions include answer keys with detailed answer explanations. These in-depth answer explanations will allow you to better understand any questions that were difficult for you or that you needed more help to understand.

This revision reflects the expertise of APRNs from throughout the field who serve in a variety of settings and the expertise of interdisciplinary team members. The goal of the curriculum is to provide a foundation of knowledge from which APRNs can practice palliative care. In the last decade, the evidence base for palliative care has expanded. The chapters in this curriculum reflect this. To meet the rapidly changing needs of the APRN, the Core Curriculum has been reorganized. The first section, Issues in Palliative Nursing, presents an overview of the role and practice concerns. The second section, Dimensions of Care, reviews common symptoms, and psycho-social-spiritual aspects of care. The third section, Management of Common Serious or Life-Threatening Illnesses, describes pathophysiologies and disease specific management. New in this edition are sections devoted on vulnerable and special populations, and an expanded appendix to include a pharmacological quick reference, a review of oxygen therapy, and other useful references.
