Test Taking Tip of the Week
Prevention is a key concept (e.g. when the question deals with infection control, and in health teaching).

Example: The primary objective in ileostomy teaching with a client during the early postoperative period is to:

1. Facilitate maintenance of intake and output records
2. Control unpleasant odors
3. Prevent skin excoriation around the stoma
4. Reduce the risk of postoperative wound infection

Choose "prevention" (option 3) which in turn may prevent contamination of the abdominal incision (option 4). Options 1 and 2 are secondary objections.

Test taking tip of the week.
Don't "pass the buck" - think what is a nursing action that an RN can do before calling the MD.

For example, after surgery, a client with diabetes complains of nausea, and appears lethargic and flushed, with BP 108/78, P 100, R 24 and deep.

What is the next action?
1. Call the MD
2. Check the client's glucose
3. Give an antiemetic
4. Change the IV infusion rate

The nurse should assess (Option 2) before calling the MD (who may then order an antiemetic (Option 3), and alter the IV infusion rate (Option 4).

Test-Taking Tip of the Week:

When you do not know the answer, choose what will cause the least harm.

Example:
The nurse suspects abdominal wound dehiscence when lifting the edges of the client's dressing. What should he nurse do next?

1. Tell the client to remain quiet and not cough.
2. Offer a warm drink to help relax the client.
3. Place the client with feet elevated.
4. Change the dressing.

Option 1 is the best answer, because it will not add damage that could happen with changing the position or the dressing.

Use code tip01 to get 25% off on your next order. Offer good until 4/7/13

Happy Spring! Have you tried studying outside for a change? Why not get some rays and enjoy these days with a breath of fresh air! Your brain will thank you!

The Test-Taking Tip for this week is:

When two answers are correct, choose the one that covers them both, (i.e. incorporates the other like a telescope)

Example: Two hours after a liver biopsy, the nurse finds the client lying on the left side. what is the best nursing action at this time?
1) Check for bleeding
2) Turn the client onto the right side
Both options are correct, but choose option 2 because it incorporates option 1; it is possible to check for bleeding while turning over the client over onto the right side (as a preventative measure when post biopsy bleeding is possible)

Good News!

I am so happy to report that one of our International educated nurses, Claudette just PASSED the NCLEX-RN® Exam a few weeks ago and we are so happy for her! She lives in Minnesota and had taken the NCLEX® 3 times before. We had a phone consolation after she reviewed my latest book, Davis’s NCLEX-RN® SUCCESS book. She was on her way to take the exam when we talked for a second time and she told me that she thought our book was the best in preparing for this exam as well as a “good guide” to doing well as an RN. She said the “rationales are so important and gave her critical thinking strategies to help her pass!!” Thank you Claudette and all the international nursing students who want to work here in the US! We are always here to help you be successful

All my best!

Do you need to Repeat the NCLEX-RN® Exam?
Whether you are a foreign trained nurse or repeat Test-Taker, before you begin to prepare to take this exam again, you need to review the risk factors that may have prevented you from passing the first time. For example, “What type of review materials did you use? How did these study aids work for you?” Some study aids are better than others. For the next time, get a fresh start. Use different review materials! Don’t go overboard with too many books and study aids; choose a complete review book with questions and answers with rational and test-taking strategies. You can add computer tests for practice, but use a book like the "Davis’s NCLEX-RN®SUCCESS" for more detailed explanation of wrong and correct answers.

All the best!

TEST TAKING TIP FROM SALLY . . .
"IT IS NOT A MATTER OF HOW MUCH YOU STUDY FOR THE NCLEX-RN ® EXAM, BUT HOW YOU USE THE REVIEW MATERIAL ...
Focus on reviewing your weakest area first and leaving what you feel most comfortable with toward the end of your reviewing process. This will help you figure out if you need a review in theory, test-taking strategies, or both."

All the best
Sally
