First Fundamentals Test ???

[Studentnurse143]

Hi, I am in my first year, actually first month of nursing school and we have a test coming up next week. It is our first one in Nursing Fundamentals so I have no idea what things to focus on. I'm pretty sure they will be NCLEX type questions but I'm not sure what content I should focus on. Our reading consisted of the Nursing Process, Spirituality, Culture, Sensory Perception, Health Assessment and Vital Signs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

Hey! I am in week 6 also. I studied and studied, learned all the terms in the first chapter and got a 75% which is a D where I go. Like Diva0082 said the questions will probaly be in NCLEX type and they want the best answer. I prefer tests that read: "The definition of this is:" I remember one on Infection Control. "You enter a patients room to take perform a physical assesment, the patient has the volume of his radio up real high. The first thing you should do is: A. Turn the radio down, wash your hands and proceed B. Wash your hands FIRST before you touch anything! I don't remember what the other 2 options were. But I figured since the chapter was over infection control and we are suppose to wash our hands when we entered a room. I found it helps to read your skills steps (action and rational). The NCLEX type question will help you in the long run, it gets you critical thinking going.

Thanks everyone for all your help. We got our tests back yesterday and I only missed 2 questions ( and one was just a dumb mistake of marking the wrong letter) but I got a 96 and am so happy. Hopefully I can keep doing this well!!

Thanks!!!
