Document preview thumbnail
Preview 4 out of 35 pages

BUILT AROUND THE CHPN DETAILED CONTENT OUTLINE: The cheat sheets cover the major CHPN examination domains: Patient Care, Assessment and Planning; Patient Care, Pain Management; Patient Care, Symptom Management; Support, Education, and Advocacy; and Practice Issues. BEST FOR: hospice case managers carrying a home care caseload; nurses staffing inpatient hospice houses and general inpatient units; palliative care consult nurses working inside hospitals; long-term care and assisted living nurses supporting residents near the end of life; oncology and critical care nurses moving into palliative practice; admission, triage, and on-call nurses handling after-hours hospice visits; and anyone pursuing initial CHPN certification or recertifying by examination. WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE: ONE-PAGE SUMMARY. The complete CHPN blueprint on a single page, with the major domains and the highest-yield concepts in each. TERMINOLOGY TABLES. Side-by-side comparisons of the terminology the exam expects you to distinguish, from nociceptive, neuropathic, and total pain to hospice versus palliative care eligibility. COMMON CONFUSIONS CHEAT SHEET. The concept pairs that cost candidates points, including terminal restlessness and opioid-induced neurotoxicity, and anticipatory grief and complicated grief. MISTAKE-FINDER MINI-QUIZZES. Practice spotting the assessment errors candidates actually make, such as treating end-of-life agitation as pain when the cause is retention, constipation, or a medication already on board. HIGH-YIELD QUICK REFERENCE. Every domain condensed to what you need to recall, from opioid conversion, titration, and breakthrough dosing in pain management to hospice benefit requirements and scope of practice in practice issues. ACTIVE RECALL STRIPS. Retrieval prompts covering equianalgesic conversion and incomplete cross-tolerance, the common symptoms of advanced illness and their first-line management, signs of the final days and hours, and grief and bereavement responses. PROVE-YOU-KNOW CHECKS. Applied tasks that confirm you can convert an opioid safely and adjust the dose for cross-tolerance, recognize that death is near and prepare a family for what comes next, and carry a goals-of-care conversation without deciding for the patient. EXAM-DAY CHECKLIST. A clear checklist to help you feel organized, focused, and ready to perform. BONUSES INCLUDED: Your purchase also includes access to a bonus resource page with three additional study tools. PRINTABLE STUDY TEMPLATES. Mind maps, comparison charts, and Cornell notes for organizing difficult concepts and comparing commonly confused information. FLEXIBLE WEEK-BY-WEEK STUDY PLAN. A weekly schedule that breaks your preparation into manageable steps instead of trying to review everything at once. ONLINE PRACTICE LAB. Interactive study games and activities: flashcards, matching activities, crosswords, Sort It, and Scramble Sprint. Instant digital download. Study on your laptop, tablet, or phone whenever it works for you. You've got this. Made Easy Academy has got you.

START HERE
You know that scramble in the last stretch before an exam, when you don't have time to
reread everything and you're just trying to lock in the stuff that actually shows up. We've
been there, and it's exactly why we made these.

Everything here is the high-yield material, pulled out and laid out clean so you can review
fast and trust that what's in front of you is what matters. Read them early to see the big
picture, keep them handy between study sessions, or lean on them hard in those final days
when you just need the essentials in one place.


HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THESE
01 Start with the One-Page Summary. Read it once to see the whole exam at a glance, then
come back before every study session to keep the big picture in view.


02 Work the Terminology Tables and Quick Reference next. These are your foundation: the
terms, equations, and facts you'll use again and again.


03 Test yourself, don't just read. Use the Mistake Finder quizzes and Active Recall Strips to
pull the material from memory. Cover, quiz, repeat. That's where the real gains happen.


04 The night before, run the Exam-Day Checklist. Walk in prepared and calm.



A QUICK TIP Don't try to memorize every page in one sitting. Review a little each day, lean on
active recall, and let the Prove-You-Know Checks tell you when you've actually got it.
