In school we didn't really learn meds/ weren't tested on them. I'm retaking my nclex-pn. so restudying! What's the best way to study meds? I started studying classifications and then some meds with in those. But now I'm thinking maybe its better to go by each med and maybe a few things about it. I'm using index cards. Anyone figure out the way that was MOST effective for them? I'll give it a go. I was hit with A bunch of meds on my test I didn't know, nor have ever seen. Don't want to have that happen again. Thanks!!!

You're probably right I'm just worried I answered half my test wrong. Thats why I'm stressing out about it. I wish for the life of me I could remember the wording but I can't. I should have wrote it down and I didn't and now I can't remember. Go figure.

Thank you for taking the time to try to help. But I guess until I think of exact questions or wording, or someone else recently takes the exam and can chime in and help me out I'm at a stand still. Because there's really nothing about those two questions I don't get. The questions I encountered were what I thought to be like those questions or in replace of those questions but worded differently. I guess what I'm getting at is I really either need to remember how they were worded or find someone who can help me fill in my blank. Because my issue at hand is I think I may of answered half my test wrong. I think I may have thought they were looking for what would have been the negative answer, when really the answer should have been a positive answer. I don't wanna make the same mistake twice. I'm not a good test taker to begin with and this test is designed to trick you which just blows!

Do you remember how some of your "teaching questions" were worded? I just took mine in dec too and failed. You think I would remember how some of the questions were worded but I am blanking. The practice questions that would usually say need for further teaching seemed to be worded differently on the test. Did you experience this? Or come across anything that said "what will the nurse reassure"?

I wish I had questions like your example question cause I would have had a good idea how to answer the question. Almost all the questions I had were teaching questions. What will you teach.... I looked around. Here are a few questions I found that were close but still not exactly worded the same. When teaching low cholesterol diets to a group of clients, which of the following types of teaching and/or learning would most facilitate retention?[TABLE] [TR] [TD] [/TD] [TD]lectures and quizzes over the material taught[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] [/TD] [TD]reading assignments and on-line computer testing[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] [/TD] [TD]activity where client selects proper foods from wide selection[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] [/TD] [TD]charts in color, with cartoons on low cholesterol diets This next question is how I'm use to seeing the question in my practice books. But is not how it appeared on the nclex and is why I'm confused. [TABLE=class: problemTypeBkgd, width: 100%] [TR] [TD=align: center][TABLE=class: problemTypeBkgd, width: 100%] [TR] [TD=align: left]The nurse is teaching a group of older clients about the functions of the respiratory tract as part of health promotion. Which statement made by patients would indicate a need for further teaching? I really wish I could remember the exact wording. If something comes to mind I will repost. But right now I am just blanking. [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

So I recently took the nclex-pn (2013) and failed. You think I would remember exactly how some of the questions were worded to get clairfication but I think I am so traumatized by the whole thing that I'm blanking. The only thing I can remember is some questions said reassure), but I remember some sounding like the opposite of that, and it wasn't follow up either cause that would have been easy and made sense. All the practice questions that I have come across so far that were looking for a "negative response", something the client said wrong that would need further teaching have said just that. The nclex was worded much different which made me think I needed to select the one that needed further teaching. But now I am rethinking myself, and thinking I may have totally been wrong! Can anyone provide any insite to help me???? I feel like such an idiot!
