Kaplan study question

LessValuableNinja · Jan 23, 2017

Kaplan is imperfect. I don't agree with the rationale. However, the point they appear to be trying to make in this case is that all CKD medications should be discussed with a prescriber. While that is true, it may not be real world, since the nurse often screens. The takeaway is that CKD is different. However, I feel this is a poor rationale.

That's a frustrating question, because in real life that is probably something that we would teach patients. Perhaps what Kaplan is getting at is nursing scope of practice, since nurses techniquely can't prescribe medications. As such the patient is going home and probably needs labs reviewed with provider periodically before taking and over the counter meds. Don't stress too much, Kaplan prep is harder than the NCLEX.

I have also noticed that the rationale for Kaplan is not the best. I was thinking about getting Uworld. Thank you for your input!
