Orthopaedic Nurses Certification Board (ONCB) · ONCB Candidate Handbook, September 2024 edition, cross-checked against ONCB’s current ONC Exam Description on 2026-10-13. ONCB calls the examination the ONC Examination and identifies the credential as Orthopaedic Nurse Certified (ONC®); the workbook label maps to this ONCB examination, not a separate current exam. Workbook category 5, Allied Health & Imaging, is a catalog classification, not the examination’s subject area. The handbook and current webpage use some different condition-area label variants; neither states a separate blueprint effective date.

This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
