FCCA Help!!

[Laurenrobertson]

Hey Guys!

So as I am working on my FCCA I was wondering if anyone knows, what do they mean by priority nursing assessments?? Would this include general assessments? (Ex: Respiratory, Cardiac, Endocrine) or specific assessment such as (Ex: Respiratory: auscultate breath sounds and use incentive spirometer every two hours, assist with postural drainage.. etc). I have written down several 'assessments' pertinent to each patient but I'm not sure if I'm being TOO specific. Please Advise!!!!!!!

Per the EC academic honestly policy, I don't believe students are allowed to help each other with the FCCA. I have seen other students reference a helpline that comes with the FCCA packet -- have you tried that?

That's right, I just completed mine, and had the exact same questions as you. I called the number on the bottom of the page and spoke with Janet forgot her last name. She clarified all my questions. She won't give you the answer, but whe will clarify it to you. The number should be on the letter that came with the booklet. Good Luck!

Just wanted to say- I had the same issue! I was over-analyzing everything as well. Just like they mentioned above, they are very helpful when you call. Try not to worry about it too much! Good luck!
