PLEASE HELP

Hi everyone, i recently starting a BSN program and already feeling quite overwhelmed, though to be expected. My problem is that my fundamentals teacher reads power point slides to the classroom, which i find useless, because we can all read. At the end of each chapter, there are nclex style questions..(great we need the practice)...BUT, we need help to understand priorities, and were not getting a whole lot of help in that area. and the book does NOT provide rationals...therefore i am getting some of the questions wrong at the end of the chapters...how can i learn priorities?

those of you upper classmen or current fundamental takers, can u please advise?

thank you so much

Don't know if it will help but try using Maslow's hierarchy. Start with the ABCs, airway, breathing, and circulation and anything that affects them, and move to patient safety, etc. It seems to help me when I have trouble with questions. Also, don't assume information that isn't in the questions, (the what if's) I sometimes have a bad habit of doing that but I am getting better and looking at the information that is given in the question and not adding information into it.

If your book does not give rationales, you might want to get an NCLEX review book like Saunder's or Kaplan and use those along with whatever you are studying. They are broke down into sections such as fluid and electrolytes, cardiac care, etc. and those have rationales as to why one answer is correct and the others are not. It also has test taking strategies that come in handy, such as narrowing down the answers until you get the correct one.

Hope this helps.

ABC's are always firsts.....so look for any answer that might pertain to that....
