please help me

hello! well i took the nclex last year around september but unfortunately i failed. now i'm going to take it the second time around... hopefully early this year... i noticed that the questions i encountered last time were more about triage and delagation and i think im weak on these areas. hopefully i would be enlightened on how to deal with these topics. i really have difficulty in which patients should i attend first. thank you :wink2:

Hi, and welcome to the board :).

I would suggest what we talk about in CPR classes: to the extent that you can determine whether a patient's concern is related to the ABC's (airway, breathing, circulation) that's a good place to start. The patient with a compromised airway or breathing problems or bleeding profusely is going to come before other concerns. Those who have lost consciousness also at the top of the list.

I'm sure others will be along shortly to elaborate on other techniques, but that's a good way to at least start separating the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.

I suggest that you begin with the sticky that I have posted at the top of this forum to get you started. It will give you your weak points after you follow it, and assist you with knowing what the exam is looking for as far as answering.
