How u apply kaplan 2010-2011 strategies

[Sharmi RN-BSN, BSN]

Hello everyone,

I already finished reading kaplan strategies 2010-2011 twice but still i am finding it hard to apply

these strategies in the questions.It is even more harder for meh when i do 100 questions a day

without dividing the topic.

Those of u who are using this book can u please give some advice on how to use these strategies while doing questions??

Critical thinking is the place where i am lacking.

Thank u in advance

To tell you the truth I wasnt really able to use all of the strategies of Kaplan..

I just looked at the question and answers.. Then it would depend from there.. I only used the ABC's, Maslows, Acute vs Chronic, and Assessment vs Implementation.. Don't stress yourself on using the strategies. Just know the concepts well and keep answering questions, eventually you'll get the hang of answering questions

just like racs09 said.. lol

you have to break down the question and read it carefully then look at the answers, read them carefully. apply Assessment vs Implentation if it's a "what to do first" question. If it's a "who do you assess first" question I'd read the choices and pick the most unstable patient.
