PDA book case studies

hi atom, the PDA case studies are good and I agree that some rationales have contradictions to the author's correct answers. Like Health Failure s/s sudden weight gain was not included for discharge teachings (SATA)

did you think the case studies really help you a lot? Do they look like nclex questions? should I make effort to answer and review its rationales too?

did you the case studies? there are some such as experienced nursing assistant can do foley catheter, it's confusing because of the term 'experienced' and for sickle cell anemia - according to kaplan hydration is the priority, but in pda it's oxygen - confusing because not sure which one to follow kaplan's HOPS or pda's ABC lol but I do not want to stress these out much though hahaha

the priority un sickle cell is actually to hydrate the parient if no hydration is in the choices Oxygen is accepted.

you have to consider that the problem with sickle cell is Hgb therefore hydration is the priority during crisis but in the event that fluid is absent in the choices and O2 is there then select Oxygen.

as to the foley catheter, CNA is allowed to do it so long as the word "experienced" is quoted which validate them to do it. "experienced" means they usually do that as part of their routine already and they are doing safely. what cNa cant so is the closed catheter which requires sterile technique

Noted. Thanks Egorot. :)
