Lastly, this could also be a vital resource for nurses studying for the Certified Bariatric Nurse (CBN) examination, as there is significant cross-over content.

All questions are problem-based clinical scenarios simulating the actual exam and covering all test domains provided in the ABOM test content outline. Questions are organized into the following chapters: diagnosis and evaluation, treatment, and practice management. Explanations: Utilizing tables, diagrams, custom images, and algorithms, these high-quality explanations help you to organize your thoughts and how to arrive at the correct answer. References: References are provided for each question, referring to the recommended test material, resources provided by ABOM, and the test content domain identifier to understand the objective being tested.
