Editorial Assessment
This self-assessment manual represents a practical and well-structured resource for those facing the Medical-Surgical Nursing specialization exam. Its main value lies in the combination of reasoned questions, clinical cases, and study techniques, all aimed at covering the required competencies. The authors' experience in the clinical and training field brings credibility to the content, although the reader should keep in mind that the work focuses exclusively on preparation for the access test, without developing extensive theory. It is, therefore, an ideal complementary tool for those who already have a solid foundation and are looking to practice and self-assess efficiently.
