STUDY FROM THE MOST RECENT NCLEX REVIEW BOOK, THEN BUY THE NCLEX Q AN A BOOK. FOLLOWING ALL THAT, YOUR STILL GOING TO GET QUESTIONS UNLIKE YOU SEEN IN EITHER BOOK, BUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE BASE SHOULD THEN BE BROAD ENOUGH TO APPLY A LITTLE COMMON SENCE, AND PASS. [ STUDY CONSISTENLY SO YOU DON'T FORGET WHAT YOU PREVIOUSLY LEARNED, WORKED FOR ME] GOOD LUCK.

I TOO, FAILED THE NCLEX THE FIRST TIME, IT WAS PROBABLY JUST AS WELL, TALKING TO LPN'S ON MY JOB I REALIZED HOW LITTLE I REALLY KNEW. SO I STUDIED HARD, AND PASSED IT THE SECOND TIME AROUND.

Think of the acronym ROME. ROME (RO / ME) Respiratory Opposite / Metabolic Equal -------------------------- -------------------- respiratory acidosis (pH down) (PCO2 up) opposite respiratory alkalosis (pH up) (PCO2 down) opposite RO = respiratory opposite , directions of pH and gas ******************************************* metabolic acidosis (pH down) (HCO3 down) equal metabolic alkalosis (pH up) (HCO3 up) equal ME = metabolic equal , directions of pH and gas
