About the Kaigo Fukushishi national exam
The Certified Care Worker exam (介護福祉士国家試験, kaigo fukushishi kokka shiken) is held once a year in late January. There are 125 questions in 13 subjects, taken in a morning and an afternoon session.
The exam is written in Japanese only. Disease names are shown with English, and EPA candidates may get extra time and furigana on every kanji. Check the official exam guide from the Social Welfare Promotion and Examination Center for details.
That is why this site keeps the original Japanese question and adds the explanation in English: learn the meaning in English, then connect it to the Japanese words that appear on the exam.
