Priority questions on nclex

Sodium

I thought so too but then people started saying different things like sodium is dangerous if it goes below 115 but potassium is more important because it affects the heart muscle.

I would think it would be K? Even though sodium is low.

The answer is sodium. They are at risk for seizing. Good luck on your next round!

Have you tried nclex mastery it's 30 dollars. It's been helpful to me. It has labs, content.

I have the free version of that app. I'm ok with values and things like that. It's the priority questions that get me. I got a lot of questions that were priority and all the answers seemed very similar. I tried using ABC's, maslow, acute over chronic and still had issues.

Thanks for clarifying, ICUman.

I would think for NCLEX purposes heart arrhythmias would be priority over seizures. Of course, in the real world the sodium level would be the priority.

I know. I was going back and forth on it for a while.

Did you read the priority and delegation by lecharity? That seems to be a major study tool

Depends on the arrhythmia. Some, such as Sinus Bradycardia or Atrial Fibrillation aren't particularly harmful.

Seizures not so much.

Hello everyone & good luck to those who haven't taken their test yet & congratulations to those who have & passed.

Maja, did you have a lot of SATA questions (and did you take the RN or the PN test). I just graduated, I am an older PN student & Along with being a stresser anyways, finding out how much harder education is now than it was many years ago is really putting a lot more stress on & so therefore I am literally worried sick about the NCLEX!!!

So I would love to hear from any newly passed nurses also, esp PNs, to get any and all feed back on what you studied, how you studied, your experience about your test (what we should focus more on), ect to help not just me but hopefully other PNs also :) I know everyone has diff test, but hearing others experiences can help a lot. And I really appreciate it more than I can express Also in an older thread, a lady shared her ideas, study plans & study notes for lab values, but their thread is closed & many are trying to find anyone that might have that info. I think it would be awesome also if anyone does or another one of their on that they would like to share esp for ones that aren't as savvy at making as great notes. And more so I feel the more info you put out there, the more chances someone can find a little more info that might help them. I am new to this forum but this is what others stated in other older forums I read (but they were all RNs) í ½í¸ They sounded really positive and had a real desire to help one another, so I am hoping we can do the same í ½í¸Š

I am using Kaplan PN, the mastery app (30 mins at a time 4x a day), picmonics (3x a day) trying to keep it broke up, my old brain starts getting overwhelmed :) & at least 100-150 questions a day from exam cram, bc I work also. I haven't gotten my email to set my test date up yet, but I am planning to study at least 3-4 weeks.

Thank you in advance & God bless :)
