RN06

I just want to share a story of what happen in my class. We all sit like peas in a pod, during testing. And I never noticed (not that I'm looking around) anyone doing anything out of the ordinary. Well some one must have been caught. At the next test they seperated all of us into diffrent rooms, started yelling at us, place all your things in this corner, nothing on your desks, and then paced around us during the test. It made taking the test so difficult, i.e. being distracted by them looking at our paper and walking around us. It was awful, the next day I asked one of my instructor "what the deal was?" She said it is hard to prove cheating, but they know someone was, and until they can prove it, that's how the testing will be. I told them, thats an awful enviornment for us non-cheaters, besides I agree, it doesn't do anything for them when they have to take the NCLEX. But she just stated, nonetheless, since we can't prove it right now, we have to prevent it. Everyone will be seperated and stared down during the exam.

Jerry, I too was told that Risk for Dx's don't have AEB. I don't know why your instructors is saying that. Example, instructor once gave: Risk for falls R/T the use of assistive devices. The patient hasn't fallen yet and you have no proof or AEB that he ever will, but the risk is there because he uses a walker. Whereas Impaired Skin Integrity R/T decreased mobility AEB Stage II decubitis ulcer to coccyx The pt has impaired skin integrity because of decrease mobility and you can "prove" it by AEB: the ulcer Perhaps you should meet with both instructors. Maybe one can rationale why she is choosing to use 3 part statements, or she misunderstood you. Hope I helped.
