, Alignment & Evidence Notes
As of September 2026, Jersey College continues to list NUR202 - Geriatric Nursing: Management Concepts for Elder
Care in Level II of its Professional Nursing RN curriculum. The current public program page lists 3.0 theory and 3.0
clinical/lab credits (6.0 total).
The latest detailed NUR202 syllabus publicly located is Spring 2024. It describes 50-100 multiple-choice questions per
exam, delivered through ExamSoft/Examplify, with exams incorporating course content, readings, assignments, practicum
learning, critical thinking, and knowledge from prior/concurrent courses.
The public Fall 2023 NUR202 calendar places Exam 1 after the opening units: overview of gerontologic nursing, theories
related to care of the older adult, pain, assessment of the older adult, sleep, and activity. The uploaded five-page Exam 1
review strongly reinforces those same domains and adds functional assessment, cognition, incontinence, atypical illness
presentation, and delirium/dementia comparisons.
Because Jersey College has not publicly posted a September 2026 secure Exam 1 blueprint, this resource mirrors the
published format and topic emphasis, not the confidential live exam. Questions are newly written and are designed for
review and practice.
