I should preface my review with the disclosure that my primary profession is already in the world of pediatric medicine and so I am sure that some of my struggles with the questions were related to having background knowledge that was peripheral and made me over-think things--though I do feel that my overall concerns would stay unchanged. The case studies that are the first portion of this review book are absolutely awful--1/2 of the questions under each of the case studies are either not related to the case study itself or are confusing because you can't tell what is being asked for (does the author want you to answer based on the information in the case study above or in general circumstances? The latter seemed to be more correct). The explanations of the answers for the questions don't necessarily address all the components as to why the "wrong" answers are incorrect or don't address some of the answers at all. There are some outright discrepancies (case study #4--the body of the case study addresses doxycycline and the question asks about tetracycline), reference based questions (again, case study #4, there are questions about medications that are not so common that I imagine LCs would know the risk category off the tops of their heads or the AAPs policy statement about them without looking it up in a reference text, nor is it within the scope of practice of the LC to be directing mothers about medications, rather just providing them with the information and guidance to speak with baby's primary care provider or their own), and some very pointed and emotionally/judgement based answers as well as some that I feel are outside the scope of LC practice as it stands.
Another frustration is how the questions are worded in general.
