N 421 Quiz 2 Preparation GuideDear Students,
Next week in class we will have our second quiz. I really want each of you to use this
preparation for the quiz as a learning experience and a deepening of understanding and
knowledge in caring for children. Below is the list of topics that may be addressed in the quiz as
a guide to enhance your preparation. The questions will be based on the assigned ebook readings,
the pediatric chapter in the HESI prep book, class lectures and PowerPoint presentations.
Remember, this is about much more than earning a grade, it is about learning how to care for
young vulnerable human beings. That is the enduring legacy of your quiz. Please consider that
as you prepare for the quiz and for your life as a nurse.
With all good wishes for you,
John Hurley
PS: You will need a simple calculator.
