Arab Board Emergency & Disaster Nursing Part 1 case studies
Arab Board Emergency & Disaster Nursing Part 1 · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Arab Board Emergency & Disaster Nursing Part 1 is the first written component of the specialty certification that the Arab Board of Health Specializations awards to nurses working in emergency departments, prehospital services and disaster response. Part 1 is a multiple-choice paper: it tests the applied knowledge base a senior emergency nurse is expected to hold before moving on to the later clinical and oral components. The emphasis is on clinical reasoning under uncertainty rather than recalled trivia. The blueprint is broad. Topics on this exam: Emergency Nursing Foundations and Triage, Disaster Preparedness, Response, and Recovery, Trauma and Burn Emergencies, Cardiovascular and Respiratory Emergencies, Neurological, Renal, and Endocrine Emergencies, Obstetric, Pediatric, and Mental Health Emergencies, Environmental, Toxicological, and Infectious Disease Emergencies, and Professional Practice, Ethics, Leadership, and Quality. The Arab Board Emergency & Disaster Nursing Part 1 case studies are 5 cases and about 2,262 words.
