UTA – NURS 5432 – FNP 1 – Exam Study Notes
I won’t be making another one of these for FNP2 or FNP3 – so don’t bother looking for it. This took too much time to create.
Recommend your notes utilize the following format –
Disease name –
What are signs and symptoms? –
Special considerations for this disease? –
How do you manage disease? –
When do you refer to specialist(s)?
Mid-term Exam – modules 1-4 –
Module 1 -
should not be delayed due to minor illnesses, even if they illicit low-grade fever. However, for
moderate to severe infections, vaccinations could be postponed. Premature infants should
follow a schedule for immunizations based on their chronological age, not their gestational
age. Vaccine doses should not be adjusted (reduced) for premature or low-birthweight
patients. Chronic diseases are not outright contra-indications; however, vaccination with DTaP
should be deferred until the neurologic condition has been clarified and/or is stable.
Rotavirus vaccines –
•Rotarix –doses s/b given 28 days apart – for infants, given at age 2 mo and 4 mo.
– completed by 24 weeks.
•Rotateq – 3 doses completed by 32 weeks of age.
Immunodeficient children should not be given live-virus vaccines. These include –
•Oral polio vaccine [OPV, not available in the United States]
•Rotavirus
•MMR
•VAR
This document covers the entirety of the class – consisting of a midterm and the comprehensive final. Don’t waste
your time watching all those videos, they are horribly low yield. By following this document, I just saved you a
dozen or so hours of studying – you’re welcome. All highlighted, red, italicized text are those focused questions that
appear in those outlined summaries of each module. Double check these against your current semester taking this
course. That said, I can’t really make any of these modules high yield as anything could be on the exams from
these modules; and in all honesty, that was the case for me. However, think about it this way - since you are
only going to get 150 questions (between the midterm and the final) and there’s over 100 pages in this
document summarizing the entirety of the course, comprised of I-don’t-know-how-many-data-points, focus
on that topics/categories that you are most likely to be tested on; or, to put it another way, what do you think
you are going to be absolutely, 100% be tested on? That answers I’m going for are – pharmacology, diagnostics,
physical assessment, patho, etc. I would tackle each topic in this manner. I highly recommend to focus on these
categories of each topic first – as it is basically impossible to simply review everything covered in the course and
properly retain everything. For instance, focus on (and memorize) all the pharmacology for each topic covered in
the course (anki maybe); then do the same for diagnostics, and so on. Doing this, you may not cover every possible
question you could get, but you would at least ace the questions you are for sure going to be asked in each of those
categories. Trust me, you will be. Any italicized text is my own note/addition/snarky comment and did not come from
lecture material. I would suggest cross-referencing all these topics w/ Osmosis videos (if you have time) and
chatgpt (ask your question, followed by the prompt “please explain in advanced medical terminology.” Be cognizant
of possible AI hallucinations). Also, you must get 100% on everything else in the course. Good luck.
