Hello everyone! I would like to ask for your help ,
So i answered kaplan's question from qtrainer and qbank.. its about sickle cell, accdg to kaplan sickle cell crisis management first priority is to give IV for rehydration ..so i answered it and its correct,.then i am in lacharity's book the PDA under hematology chapter , i answered same question, since kaplan said its priority so I answered IV to rehydrate the pt. but its wrong ..lacharity says to give 100% O2 since oxygenation of sickling cells help alleviate sickle cell crisis...i am torn between who to follow when i sit for the real exam ..pls help me
Just looked up this topic in Saunders. For interventions it lists maintaining adequate hydration first and administering oxygen second. Not sure if that means hydration is priority??
So, I guess you need to read the question and go by the information provided on the question as discussed before. I used Saunders as a very good content review, since Kaplan is not as detailed as Saunders. I wish you the best.
There is a way to email the "Kaplan Experts" and they will go over the rational with you. I will look to see if I can find out how to do this. But you would need the question so they can respond. We did this in my review course regarding scope of practice. They answer they provided was excellent!
