This study guide covers content for the question bank for this course. There are 100 questions on the exam
and more content in the exam study bank than will be seen on any given exam. Therefore, you may note
more than 100 topic items noted in this study guide. However, there may also be more than one question for a
topic listed so you should know each one well. Some items listed are more specific than others. If the item
listed seems vague, if it’s a more general question and to be more specific would be to risk the integrity of the
question itself.
Number of Questions on Exam: 100
Point Value of Each Question: 2
Styles of Questions of Exam: Multiple Choice Only
Knowledge Levels: Various (remember, understand, apply)
Time Limit: 150 minutes
Number of Attempts: 1
Use of Support Materials: Not Allowed

Announcements
1. Review the topics each week to take notes as you move through the course and focus your reading and
content review in the course.
2. You can make notes directly on each tab for the respective week or print out and hand write your notes.
3. If you choose to print, you will want to adjust the size of columns so the table width will fit on a printed
page.
4. Re-write your notes if you type them to connect the content to your memory more readily as the activity
of writing and saying it again as you write it creates repetition that helps commit the content to memory.
5. Create your own practice questions that are clinical scenario based to move the content from a
memorization (Remember) level of learning to an application type of learning. Much of your exam will be
at the application level so it's not enough to memorize your notes.
6. Review your study guide and notes as often as you can. Read them out loud so you hear the words
externally as well as internally. The more senses you can engage while studying, the more likely you are
to remember it.
