Interactive self-assessment activities such as matching, sequencing, labeling, and multiple select activities, similar to the types of questions now seen on the NCLEX® examination, allow students to apply their knowledge in context. Engaging audio commentary enhances the step-by-step explanation of math skills and drug calculation methods, in addition to livening up instruction and discussion. Quizzes within each module allow students to test their knowledge of all major topics covered in that particular section. Comprehensive test bank is included to help the instructor build quizzes and tests.
