Are you taking the PN or the RN exam? There is a difference in the type of questions that are on it.
Not as many priority type on the PN exam.
t am taking the Pn nclex exam
The priority questions are more on the RN exam as they deal with delegation, etc. Have you been doing questions from the Saunder's that I recommended?
Lets start at the beginning. What does priority mean? It means "what are you going to do first?" Think of it first in terms of taking a shower (to make it easy), you are going to get dressed as your final step, not get dressed, then dry yourself off. This is what is meant by priority. What would be the most important thing for you to do next? The patient that you should see first when getting out of report? The first treatment that needs to be done on your patient if they are scheduled for the same time.
If you understand the material that was taught in class, this is just another way of asking questions on the material.
I suggest just to continue to do the questions as you were doing before.
