Mistakes in kaplan

I'm watching all the videoes right now in Kaplan and wondered if anyone has found any mistakes in their teaching...

I've found 2 so far:

On one occasion the lady says that when you're auscultating for fetal heart tones and the baby is cephalic presented, you listen to the FHT above the umbilicus and 10 minutes later (cephalic presentation), says it's below the umbilicus...anyone know the correct one? I haven't found the answer in my Saunders book.

Also:

During the CVA lecture, the lady says that when a person has had a Left-sided, that you would feed the person on the right side. But, don't CVAs affect the opposite side of the body, so you would feed on the left side that's unaffected? Maybe I'm the person that's wrong, anyone that can confirm?

I'm going to assume she means left sided weakness which would have been a right sided stroke. In that clase, yes, you would feed them from the right side.

With cephalic presentation, this means that the fetal back is located at the lower portion of the abdomen. So, i would go for below the umbilicus to hear for the FHR.

left-sided what? weakness or CVA? if left sided weakness then feed on the right side (unaffected)

if left sided CVA (because of the decussation) would result to right sided weakness so feed on the left side (unaffected)

I also found a few mistakes while doing Kaplan in the study book.

i found mistakes. im glad it was not just me.

so i started using other books like Hogan and saunders for content review.
