Comprehensive review reflects the latest Canadian Council for Practical Nurse Regulators (CCPNR) national PN competencies (including Ontario and British Columbia). Variety of exercises reinforces learning with matching, multiple-choice, multiple-response, labelling, diagram reading, fill-in-the-blank questions, case studies, and more.

Part III: Challenge Yourself! Getting Ready for PN Examinations focuses on the application or analysis levels of cognitive ability, and can include case studies, nursing care plans, and nursing assessment. Questions arranged by level of difficulty move from simple recall to more difficult exercises designed to help you apply, analyze, and synthesize basic concepts. Alternate format questions include multiple response, labelling, prioritizing, ordering, and calculation questions to help you practice for the REx-PN® and CPNRE® licensure examinations. Review questions on care for older adults focus on long-term care and community-based settings, asking you to apply content to real-world practice.
