Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Sandra Joy Peacock, RN, BSN, MBA (University of New Mexico Cancer Center)
Description: The book contains nearly 500 questions and answers designed to assist oncology nurses prepare for the Certified Breast Care Nurses (CBCN) exam.
Purpose: This is the only certification review book based on the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation blueprint for Certified Breast Care Nurses that provides an evidence-based study guide.
Audience: The intended audience is nurses working in oncology who are preparing for the exam.
Features: The book's eight chapters correspond to the areas tested on the exam, including breast health, diagnosis, staging, treatment, symptom management, psychosocial, spiritual, survivorship, end-of-life care, professional performance, and education. The questions and answers are comprehensive and focus on the important aspects of oncology nursing and breast cancer care.
Assessment: This is a well-written review that I would recommend for oncology nurses, especially those working with oncologists specializing in breast cancer, who are preparing to sit for their CBCN exam.
