question on la charity

hello nurse1123,

i just finished that same chapter today. yes, i am guessing that they are basing the rationale on the fact that this task is in the scope of practice for an lpn/lvn. in the real world it is whatever the protocol of the facility, however in nclex world we just know that fingersticks are not in the uap/ nursing assistant's scope of practice. really enjoying this lacharity book!!

i was kinda thinking the same thing..my kaplan qbank and lacharity book sometimes contradict each other so I just go with my gut feeling and pick out the intervention that is standard and universal.. hope this helps... i think :)

It’s interesting that you bring this topic up. I was in a meeting today where it was announced that starting January 1, 2012, our Patient Care Technicians will no longer be performing any glucose checks. There were no rationales to this. Perhaps there is going to be a change in the CNA’s Scope of Practice starting in 2012.

will that be the case for the NCLEX? I'm taking the exam 2nd week of January.

i also noticed that. let's just stick to the universal concept.

yeah, i really like the book. first take scores were awful but when i did it again, i got passing scores or sometimes almost perfect. hope it's gonna be easy in the actual exam.

good luck to all of us!

Good luck to all of you who are preparing to take your NCLEX exam. DON"T expect it to be EASY, just be prepared! Don't over analyze the questions, remember ABC's, review pharmacology, standard precautions, and LAB values. Most of all, take your time and think through each question. I took the exam for the first time 10 months after graduating and passed with 75Q. Saunders cd and kaplan review book (I borrowed the text from the library) were the material I used to study

can somebody send me some pdf of la charity?
