NCLEX Question Type! PLEASE HELP

I recently failed my NCLEX-RN. I failed in 265 questions (which means I was close, right?) However one type of question I saw frequently during my NCLEX were questions that gave me four patients, their symptoms and then asked me which patient I would see FIRST. Some of them seemed pretty obvious, but others (read: most) were difficult to decide which patient was the priority.

Is there a specific name for these types of questions? Is there a way to study these types of questions?

I have "Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment (3rd Edition)" from Elsevier, and while it is an excellent book, it doesn't have the type of Prioritization questions I am referring to above.

Thanks for the read and your help! :)

    If I had to guess it would be prioritization.

    Anything more specific? Prioritization for me also means "which should the nurse do FIRST", those types....

    If you are able, try taking a course that walks you through a process to select the correct answer. Like Kaplan, Hurst, UWorld, Nursity, etc.

    You need to look at each choice and determine who is stable vs. unstable, acute vs. chronic, airway/breathing vs. circulation, etc. That will help narrow down the correct answer. Each NCLEX prep course has it's method of elimination. I did the 4 day Kaplan course and I highly recommend it. I passed in 77 questions :)
