Question of the Week

Study Question of the Week

Study questions cover content in the three domains of perianesthesia patient care are Physiological Needs, Behavioral Health and Cognitive Needs, and Safety Needs.

The nursing knowledge to meet these needs are the same for both the CPAN and CAPA certification programs. It is the percentage of questions asked in each domain that varies, depending on whether the candidate is taking the CPAN or CAPA exam.

For best practice, we recommend you review both CPAN and CAPA study questions.
