High Nominal Rate=Higher Demand (According to Schweser)

On page 50, book 2, Schweser, it says that “An increase in nominal interest rates will increase the demand for financial assets denominatd in the country’s currency.” However, in book 3, page 287: “An increase in the domestic real rate of interest causes capital to flow in from abroad. Then, the Professor’s Note says that “It is important to distinguish between an increase in real interest rates and an increase in nominal interest rates caused by an increase in inflation. If rates increase because of higher anticipated inflation, the rate increase results in a decrease in the value of the currency.”
My question is: Are the Book 2 and Book 3 statements at odds? Because if on the exam it says “Do nominal interest rates increase demand for the currency” I will be tempted to say yes, but it’s not really nominal rates that do that; it’s REAL rates.
What y’all think?
