Need advice for NCLEX PN!

I took my NCLEX-PN in October and what you need to understand is LPN's reinforce all TEACHING. My exam had so many teaching aspects to it. It assumes that the patient has had a RN explain to them already so your reinforcing that knowledge. You have to know what it is your going to teach them, I had to reinforce several medications and how to take them and with or without food so knowing meds is important. Teaching them what signs and symptoms they have to be watching for and when to call their doctor. As LPNS we are assessing the patient and reporting these things from what we know about diseases to the doctor or RN. So all those choices are correct. If a question popped up like "are you doing the initial assessment?" then that would be incorrect.

hope that helps at all

@ Nicolai16 mo5 me too, i'm planning to do the same thing but i don't know either what to do if you have to study the Nclex-Pn books too or the Nclex-RN reviewer is fine.. cuz i review the saunders compre RN and La Charity, Good luck to both of us and the rest who's planning to take...

Hi pinayme, you'll be fine with NCLEX RN reviewer. I passed using it. Just remember you CANT do initial assessment, just the ongoing assessment. I had a lot of precautions so try to memorize it. GOOD LUCK to you. Hope we pass both PN and RN! :)

Congrats Nicolai16..

.. and thanks for the info. i will memorize them too..

congrats!!!! IT WAS SO HARD! right... glad thats over lol
