NGN Case Studies: How to Work Through Multi-Tab Questions

Tabs. Lab results in one. Medication orders in another. Nursing notes in a third. A patient story that unfolds as you go. Most students feel panic the moment they see it. But NGN case studies follow a pattern, and once you learn that pattern, they stop being scary. In this video, we walk through a repeatable process for multi-tab NGN cases, from start to finish. You’ll learn: Why multi-tab cases feel overwhelming and why the pattern makes them manageable How to read the case overview and identify the main problem before touching a question How to sort information by relevance to each question How to treat lab and vital sign values as trends, not single points How to spot red herrings: findings that look alarming but aren’t the priority, and findings that look normal but matter The main NGN question types: multiple response, bowtie, matrix, drag and drop, and highlight A step-by-step walkthrough of a post-op patient case The most common mistakes students make on case studies The process is always the same: read the case, anchor on the main problem, sort the information, find the priority, then answer. Practice it until it becomes automatic. Ready to build your case study skills?
