This learning app contains 2,169 past questions from the 93rd (2007) to the 112th (2026) National Examination for Public Health Nurses. All general and situational questions include explanations of the correct answer and why the other options are incorrect.
The National Examination for Public Health Nurses consists of 110 questions (145 points total): 75 general questions (1 point each) and 35 situational questions (2 points each), covering public health nursing, epidemiology, health statistics, and public health, medical care, and welfare administration. Passing is determined solely by the total score (87 points or higher for the 112th examination). Situational questions typically consist of 2-3 questions per case study, accounting for approximately half of the total score. This app is also useful for those taking the National Examination for Registered Nurses, allowing them to study for the Public Health Nurse exam during their free time.
■ Features for this Exam
- The passing score meter allows you to check how many points you need to reach a total score of 87 based on your correct answer rate in recent mock exams and practice tests. Situational questions are calculated at 2 points per question.
- There are 241 case studies and 662 questions in the situational questions. You can solve problems for the same case study consecutively while the case text remains displayed on the screen.
- The mock exam is just like the real exam, with 55 questions each for the morning and afternoon sessions, totaling 80 minutes. Selecting an exam session will determine the number of questions, time, and passing score for that session.
- Calculation problems such as Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) are answered by marking each digit, just like in the real exam. Flashcards for epidemiology and health statistics are also included.
- Practice 55 questions that use diagrams such as ecomaps, statistical graphs, and growth curves. Diagrams can be enlarged to full screen by tapping them.
- The official scoring procedures are directly reflected, such as Question 9 (not graded) from the afternoon session of the 110th exam. For questions where laws or statistics have changed since the exam was published, notes are included in the explanations.
