For those of you who have ended the torture and taken the NCLEX....
Were there many diet questions such as diets for specific disease processes??

i only had one, but it wasn't really a diet question, it was more nutrition, about increasing vitamin c or something. I think it had to do with the liver, and the choices were something like, take more vit c, take tylenol when i don't feel well, call md if i get an infection (or something) and another one that i can't remember. I didn't have any specifics like the diet for CF or Gout or anything that i expected. i would still study them though. i did have a choose all that apply on the signs of a LEFT sided cva, so brush up on your brain stuff. I had a ton of peds disease processes and OB stuff. good luck.

I had about 5 or 6 diet related questions. One on celiac disease diet, one on high potassium diet, one on low fat diet, one on diabetic diet. I think I got so many diet questions because I was getting them wrong. But I somehow still passed NCLEX-RN with 75 questions. Go figure!!!

I took it today & got questions about a diet for a patient with end-stage renal disease; one about foods to include in the diet for a client with Celiac sprue disease; one about a diet for a patient on Bumax. That's all I can remember. Good luck.

Oh Pie, what is this?.... patient on Bumax ? Can you explain it ? I'll try to figure out ! Never heard about!
Good luck to you !

I think I only got one directly related to diet and one that referred to weight reduction as part of the treatment plan.

Sorry, I spelled it incorrectly. It's Bumex. It's a loop diuretic.
