This is a drill exam made in pattern of the Local Nursing Licensure exam. Those
questions that are in red color are question made by me, while those in black are
collections of questions from the past board exam and reviewers. I’ve even added
diseases diagnosed using the Newborn screening act, which I think will come out
at the NLE this December. (I will post a full lecture regarding the diseases later).
I will post the answers and rationale as soon as I’m finished with them. Please
feel free to post comment and answers.. This will improve your test taking
strategies. Good luck and enjoy
