Need an answer asap please

Hi everybody,

ok my nclex-RN is gonna be on Dec-22, and I am so nervous.

I have quick question, I read Saunders , did UWorld and now I am doing Kaplan but some answers are different in each resource.

for example;

the type of food allowed for diverticulosis; Kaplan and Saunders say don't eat nuts or corn, but according to Uworld that the new researches found that nuts and corn do not affect this disease.

So I am kinda confused which resource should I follow?

Pls help.

thankx

    Um, may I? :)

    As a nurse who was sick with Diverituclitis, to the point of having a paralytic ileus, sepsis, and peritonitis.... WBC >23K, confused, etc, spend 27 days over a 3 month period of time as INpatient!!! ....

    The Night shift nurse said: Don't eat Nuts.

    The Day shift Nurse said: Sure, you can eat nuts.

    First MD said: You know, maybe don't eat the nuts.

    The Surgeon said: Evidence says you can eat nuts.

    I know I ate nuts the week before I perforated.

    I know I now do not eat nuts.

    Once they take out the offending section of intestine, supposedly, the environment changes and the remaining (if any) diverticuli no longer react/respond with inflammatory process. Let's hope so. They took nearly a foot of sigmoid out of me. And sometimes, truth be told, I still get LLQ discomfort.... 'Tis Life my darlings.

    I hope that clears things up a bit for you.

    ;)

    RELAX,.... you've got this. We all get nervous. It's ok.

    :)

    I took the exam today, I hope that I pass.

    the computer stopped at 105 questions.

    i did the PVT and it is a good pop, sadly California does not apply for the quick results so I have to wait.

    Oh and not a single question about diverticulitis :Hellboy:
