Need Help in Nursing Situation Questions

My test questions for LPN so far are constructed in 2 parts. 1st is the basic questions on what you learned. Ex. How many hours does a newborn need to sleep. 2nd part is the actual "nursing situation" questions. Ex. Mr. X is going home w/ pain medication - which should be the least priority in teaching.......

It is the 2nd part questions that I am doing poorly on. I know the information in the first 45 questions, it is the 35 others I do not. Any suggestions?

I purchased the book Test Success w/ beginning nursing & it asks me questions that I have not learned yet & the concepts I do not get.

Hang in there. You will be learning these things as you go along. I would suggest you pick up the Saunders Edition of NCLEX for PN. It shows questions and rationale. This will help you quite a bit.:D

Do a search on this site for test taking skills. It was usually RN students that asked, but a nursing test is a nursing test - with the exception of the delegation questions - those would differ.

Anyways, much of the advice that we gave them was for the nursing situation type questions. Go back and read those threads if you have not already, or read them again if you have. Any advice I posted here would be the same as I and others have already posted there.

Good Luck on your tests!

I agree with essarge. I have the Saunders NCLEX-PN and it did help me alot. It not only gives you the rationale for the answers and a reason for why the others don't apply and before each test section it has a brief intro about the topic. Also when answering a question always remember ABC's and Maslow's Hierarchy this will help you with alot of scenario questions.

oh yes maslow and the abc's never forget them so far i doing pretty good just finished the nursing history course with a 96 overall but in ap i failed my chemistry test i was so upset but i have all high 90's and 100's so that helps. Any stragties for chemistry???
