Core Curriculum for Gerontological Nursing helps nurses prepare for the American Nurses Credentialing Centre (ANCC) examination for the gerontologic nurse. Content is based on the format of the certification exam, and this new, revised edition closely matches the new test plan. Each topic includes learning objectives, outline discussion, study questions, answers with rationales and references. A new sample exam is located in the back of the book.
