I do NOT recommend this book. I got this book to study for my RNC and figured since it was published in 2016 that it would be up to date - NOT SO.I'm having trouble getting through Section 2. About 1/3 of the way in, it says that a good way to encourage positive oral stimulation when attempting to initiate oral feeds is to use lemon and/or vanilla flavoring. How about breastmilk?!?! Many NICUs have stripped their units of lemon swabs because it's actually an irritant.Just a little further, the most appropriate answer (according to the guide) to what a parent should tell her other 3 children about their 30wk sibling is - tell mom that visiting the 30 weeker for long periods will cause separation anxiety! Way to go...freak out your already freaked out parent!And a little further, the best answer to which baby should be admitted to the INTERMEDIATE care unit is between a 39 weeker with TTN w/o need for oxygen, 33 weeker with apnea and bradycardia, or 40 weeker with a 50 glucose level. Answer is the 33 weeker...apparently. Every NICU RN I've consulted with, including myself, would admit the 33 weeker to a higher level initially and admit the 39 weeker to INTERMEDIATE for observation of TTN.It does give rationales as to why they chose the answers they have, but don't have the actual references attached to EACH answer - like some study guides have. At the end of the answer guide, they have a list of references (which are dated mostly 2009+).I accessed the online content. My mistake - I thought the e-book was going to be an actual text that I could look up information/rationales. Not so. It's an interactive copy of the actual book - you can highlight, make notes, etc with each question.
