STEP 1: ASSESS yourself. In this resource, take the two Pre-tests and two Final tests all at once. The resource questions are also included with additional questions on the CD if you prefer to test electronically.

STEP 2: Score yourself at the end. Determine the percentage of questions that were correct in each of these integrated tests.

STEP 3: In any of the tests where you scored less than 80% correct, tally the client need subcategories that your wrong answers represented. Each question is coded by various categories; you need to focus primarily on the client subneed category. The codes are found after the rationale paragraph for each question and tests-taking tips in the answer section of each test. For example, if most of the questions that you missed were represented by the client need Management of Care, Appendix F lists the pages in this resource where this content is covered. You should be sure to review this content before proceeding. Go to Appendix G and look up where there are specific questions in the resource that focus on your most problematic area(s).

STEP 4: Re-test yourself after reviewing the content areas in which you demonstrated a deficit. Score yourself. Try to achieve a correct score of at least 80%. You can do it!
