About this app

Pass the CHPN exam by thinking the way the exam thinks — when climbing breakthrough use means it is time to retitrate, why oxygen is not the first answer for breathlessness without hypoxemia, when a hospice patient must be recertified or can be discharged, and how to answer a family afraid of addiction — instead of memorizing lists.

CHPN Exam Study Guide is a focused, fully offline companion for the Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse (CHPN) examination from the Hospice and Palliative Credentialing Center (HPCC). It is organized like the exam itself, by the five domains of HPCC's content outline, so you can drill your weakest domain or work the whole outline.

SIX WAYS TO STUDY
• Scored practice sets — ten questions with instant feedback, per-domain results and a missed-items review
• Scenario multiple-choice questions — terminal restlessness at 2 a.m., a patient whose breakthrough doses keep climbing, a daughter who wants everything done — each with an explanation of why the best answer wins and why the others fall short
• Flashcards — tap to reveal, tagged by domain
• True/false drills built from the misconceptions that cost points
• Term-matching game plus a searchable glossary
• Rules & Scales reference — Medicare hospice benefit periods, face-to-face timing, levels of care, IDG review, opioid titration and conversion method, PPS, FAST, PAINAD, FLACC and more — each with the trap to avoid

WHAT'S COVERED
All five CHPN domains: Patient Care – Assessment and Planning · Patient Care – Pain Management · Patient Care – Symptom Management · Support, Education, and Advocacy · Practice Issues.

CURRENT FOR THE NEW OUTLINE
Built on HPCC's 2027 CHPN Exam Content Outline from its 2026 role delineation study, with the topics from the outline used for the rest of the 2026 testing windows still covered — so it serves candidates testing on either.
