The exam was 75 questions on: The aging adult, Stress and Adaptation, End of life/Grief, Etc...i got 90%, but 6 of my classmates failed (

why do teachers do this??

It is all about teaching critical thinking. Taking what you do know and applying it to the unknown. I think it is all prep for the NCLEX. I could be wrong but I really think this is why they do this.

Or at least this is what I tell myself. :)

CONGRATS on passing with a 90%!!

thanks! but i still feel bad about those who didn't pass:-(

i did notice that most questions were "Nclex style," one of the questions was asking: what activity was recommended by the nurse for an older adult with loss of balance?

Answers were light weight lifting, standing on one foot, sit-ups, or swimming. That's not in the book!! i just figured it would be swimming because it is different from everything else, plus they can't fall:-), but it does make u think!!
