Thank you so much for posting this. I used while I was studying for the exam and it made me realize how much I needed to look back over this section. However, looking back over them today I realize I know I lot more now without having reviewed the material recently.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting this quiz. It was really helpful in reviewing this section. You did a really good job of pointing out the most important points that I needed to take away from this lecture. Thumbs up Liz!!!
ReplyDeleteNice quiz! It is pretty helpful. Too bad I didn’t see it till now because I would probably make a higher score. Anyway, this quiz can probably be useful for us in the future when we are doing our clinicals; and can use it to study for our big final and board certification exams. Thanks for posting it!
