I am not sure this is always the case, but practice certainly helps in knowledge acquisition and exam preparation. This book has been created by enthusiastic young teachers, who both practice and teach these specialties as part of their weekly lives. In my opinion, the clinical specialties covered in this book are fascinating and exciting areas of the nursing curriculum. Knowledge and understanding of these areas of clinical practice are essential and what is the better way to check your knowledge than by answering questions on the subject? This book will help and guide you. Good luck! Dr (Prof) Archana Selvan MSc MPhil PhD Principal RKDF College of Nursing Bhopal (MP) It gives us immense pleasure and satisfaction in introducing a guide on viva questions in nursing. The textbooks available are focused on large theoretical knowledge. This imposes students to learn vast matter on each book in nursing. We ultimately decided to write a compact, comprehensive and practically-oriented book of nursing. This book aims at reducing the anxiety and stress during exam periods. This book will be a help to the students by providing them with instant, short and accurate answers to the questions asked during viva voce. It provides easy way to remember the points and memorize the facts in sequence without ambiguity. The primary readers of this book will be the undergraduate students who are learning gynecology and midwifery, psychiatric and pediatric nursing, i.e. BSc Nursing 3rd and 4th year students. This book has been written in simple style and has been kept handy so that student nurses will be delighted to use it anywhere during their preparation of examination. We hope that this guide is an earnest attempt to give enough exposure to nursing knowledge in a nutshell. We assure sure success of this guide's readers by achieving good grades in practical and competitive exams. We are aware that for manifold reasons, errors might have crept in and shall feel obliged, if such errors are brought to our notice. These suggestions will help us to improve and bring about an improvised learning in other publication.
