The Health Services Executive (HSE) Q&A Exam Review provides a comprehensive and practical study tool for all students and professionals seeking HSE qualification. Divided into three parts, this resource allows readers to test their knowledge in each area covered by the HSE exam established by the National Association of Long-Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB). Part I chapters feature multiple-choice, single-best-answer questions grouped by domain – Customer Care, Supports, and Services; Human Resources; Finance; Environment; and Management and Leadership – with detailed rationales accompanying each answer. Part II simulates the exam, offering practice exams on the Core of Knowledge Examination and on each of the three lines of service – Nursing Home Administration (NHA), Residential Care/Assisted Living (RC/AL), and Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS). These exams are structured to model the content blueprint of the licensure exams. Part III includes the practice exam answers with rationales, featured separately for self-assessment and further learning.

Written by leading experts in long-term care administration and containing over 470 questions with rationales, this Q&A review is the most authoritative and comprehensive in the market. It is a must-have resource for long-term care administrators, whether taking their initial licensure exam or completing the remaining lines of service exams.
