NR 509 Midterm Study Guide
General Study Tips and Recommendations
Topics and content on guides are intended to focus student attention when reading/studying and
some topics may be repeated in multiple chapters.
Multiple test items are derived from the same topic areas to encourage deeper comprehension.
Students must have a broad understanding of content and not simply memorize passages in
textbooks or articles.
Information in red letters in the chapters as well as tables and appendices at the end of the
chapters may include test items.
Exam questions represent various levels of cognitive learning. You are expected to analyze,
synthesis, and evaluate patient scenarios in order to answer the questions.
Read all of the answers BEFORE reading the stem of the question. This will help you focus on the
key content and not get distracted by extraneous information.
Be familiar with “Techniques of Examination” and “Recording Your Findings” for all body system
chapters in the textbook.
