Kelsey's Midwifery & WHNP Certification Review Guide
Nagtalon-Ramos, Escobar · 6th Edition
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Kelsey's Midwifery & WHNP Certification Review Guide (6th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 12 chapters.
Overview
Kelsey's Midwifery & WHNP Certification Review Guide (6th Edition) is built around 12 chapters that move from test-taking strategy through the full clinical scope of midwifery and women's health nurse practitioner practice. This study guide is written from scratch to follow that same structure, so you review in the same order Nagtalon-Ramos and Escobar organize the material and always know where a clinical topic belongs. For every chapter you get a plain-English summary of the key concepts, learning objectives laid out up front, and exam-style practice questions with a full rationale for every answer, so it teaches you why each choice is right or wrong rather than just handing you a key. You'll start with strategies for studying and test taking, then move through health assessment and diagnostic testing, primary care, and the full range of gynecologic, reproductive, sexual, and menopause health, before covering both routine and high-risk prenatal care and fetal well-being assessment. From there you'll work through the intrapartum period, postpartum and lactation care, and midwifery care of the newborn, before finishing with pharmacology principles and the professional practice issues that round out certification-level knowledge. Every chapter is matched to how the 6th Edition organizes the material so your review stays aligned with your certification exam blueprint. As you study you'll practice the full-scope clinical reasoning both the AMCB and NCC certification exams test, moving fluently between well-woman primary care, high-risk obstetric decision-making, and newborn care, and you'll build the habit of connecting a presentation to the guideline-based action it calls for, the same habit safe certified practice depends on. Whether you're prepping for your certification exam or using this as a running review through clinical rotations, this printable companion is built to be highlighted, annotated, and kept for the whole program. Original, independently written, and not affiliated with the publisher.
Aligned with AMCB (Certified Nurse-Midwife) and NCC (Women's Health Nurse Practitioner) certification exam blueprints — the practice questions mirror how these certification exams test full-scope clinical reasoning.
