What people say about this exam Based on public test-taker accounts on Quizlet, Stuvia, Docsity, and caregiver forums: - Test-takers report the APD form is more medical-scenario heavy than the DD form — diabetes and stroke are recurring topics. - “Don’t argue, don’t quiz” dementia questions reportedly appear in multiple phrasings. - Falls and aspiration are described as the two most-asked APD safety scenarios.
