Whether you’re a certified ENP or a non-EM certified NP, your journey in emergency care is driven by continuing education. These six modules are designed for all NPs who practice in emergency care settings, developed in partnership with AAENP.

Each question is written to resemble the format and topics on the exam, meaning you won’t see any negatively phrased questions, no “all of the following except,” no “A and B”…you know what we mean. Most importantly, all questions include selective distractors (incorrect answer choices), which will help you think critically.
A 34-year-old man presents with a laceration on his right lower lip crossing the vermilion border. In order to decrease swelling during the procedure, you decide to perform a regional nerve block. Which of the following is the correct location for the injection in order to anesthetize this area?
A mental nerve block is performed at the site where the nerve exits the bony foramen. The location of the exit is adjacent to the second molar. The mental nerve is a continuation of the inferior alveolar nerve innervating the skin and mucosa of the lower lip. Therefore, it is an ideal nerve block for lacerations involving the lower lips. The nerve may be blocked either intra- or extraorally. The foramen can usually be palpated approximately 1 cm inferior and anterior to the second premolar (junction of the gum and mucosa in between teeth 28 and 29). An approximate indicator is just medial to the eye if a parallel line is drawn up. The area around the foramen should be infiltrated with approximately 1 to 2 mL of local anesthetic. It is critically important to avoid injecting directly into the foramen because this can cause neurovascular damage.
Junction of the gum and mucosa in between teeth 1 and 2 (A), junction of the gum and mucosa in between teeth 25 and 26 (B), junction of the gum and mucosa in between teeth 7 and 8 (D) are incorrect.
Understanding why an answer choice is incorrect is just as important as knowing why one is correct. That’s why every Rosh Review question includes detailed explanations for the correct and incorrect answer choices. These comprehensive summaries link the most important components of a topic—from risk factors to diagnostics and treatment—giving you the context to build relationships between them.
Custom illustrations and tables help further clarify the core concepts. When information is presented visually, you can focus on meaning, easily reorganize and group similar ideas, and make better use of your memory.
Your personal analytics allow you to see your progress at all times, so you can create an efficient and effective learning strategy and stay on pace with your plan.
