APEA On-Demand Lectures 2

Question 1

What is the primary advantage of APEA's on-demand lecture format for NP board candidates?

Accepted Answer

Students can pause, rewind, and re-watch lectures at their own pace to reinforce difficult concepts

Answer

On-demand lectures allow students to control their learning pace — pausing to take notes, rewinding to re-hear complex explanations, and re-watching difficult topics multiple times, which enhances retention.

Question 2

A student watching an APEA on-demand lecture on heart failure wants to maximize retention. Which study strategy should accompany lecture viewing?

Accepted Answer

Pause the lecture after each concept and write a brief summary or answer a related practice question

Answer

Active engagement — pausing to summarize, question, or practice — dramatically improves retention compared to passive viewing. Combining lectures with immediate practice questions reinforces learning.

Question 3

An APEA on-demand lecture covers hypertension management. According to current AHA guidelines taught in APEA content, what is the first-line pharmacologic treatment for uncomplicated hypertension?

Accepted Answer

Thiazide diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or calcium channel blockers

Answer

Current hypertension guidelines support thiazide diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and calcium channel blockers as first-line agents for uncomplicated hypertension. Beta-blockers and alpha-blockers are not first-line unless specific indications exist.

Question 4

APEA on-demand lectures are organized to align with which framework used by FNP board exam blueprints?

Accepted Answer

Body system review across the lifespan with integration of diagnosis, management, and pharmacology

Answer

APEA organizes on-demand lectures by body system across the lifespan, mirroring FNP exam blueprint organization, which allows students to study in a format that directly maps to how they will be tested.

Question 5

When should a student primarily use APEA on-demand lectures versus practice questions in their study plan?

Accepted Answer

Lectures build foundational content knowledge; practice questions assess and reinforce that knowledge — both are used throughout preparation, not in isolation

Answer

On-demand lectures and practice questions serve complementary purposes: lectures establish conceptual understanding and clinical frameworks, while practice questions assess recall, identify gaps, and build test-taking skills.
