This revised program provides case studies, nearly 600 questions and answers about degenerative joint, inflammatory, metabolic bone, neuromuscular/pediatric/congenital, musculoskeletal tumors, sports and orthopaedic trauma injuries, diseases, and disorders to check your orthopaedic nursing knowledge. The tests are presented in case study format followed by multiple choice questions. At the conclusion, you’ll receive a score from each topic, helping you determine which areas will need more review. Two types of exams are offered in each section, a practice exam that may be taken an unlimited number of times and a CH exam that can only be taken once for possible contact hours. This is a great study tool to prepare for the orthopaedic certification exam or to help keep your orthopaedic knowledge up to date. (Requirements: IBM, Windows or Macintosh compatible.)
