Prior to starting the exam, be sure to familiarize yourself with the following textbook
content: Chapters 1, 2, 21, 5, 18, and 46. In addition, please review in-class and out-of-class
discussions, articles, news and video clips, and Moodle content. Consider your clinical

Organize your individual testing resources. You are free to utilize your textbook, PowerPoint
slides, online sites, and other materials to complete the exam.
Please avail yourself of all course Moodle site learning materials as well.
Your submission, despite the availability of open resources, is expected to be uniquely yours.
Clearly indicate your responses to all questions (e.g., highlight in yellow the correct answer or
delete all the incorrect responses). Do make your answers absolutely explicit.
Do submit your answers as a Microsoft Word document (i.e., not Pages, other). Non-Word

supported your response with the selected references. Failure to do so will result in lost points.
All references must be cited appropriately using APA (6 th ed.) format.
Presentation/formatting issues (e.g., spelling, grammar, punctuation, APA, plagiarism, failure to
cite, etc.) will result in lost points.
