Tips on mastering priority questions!!

When I took NCLEX this last time I had a ton of priority questions and I just seem to struggle with them. I can narrow it down to 2 answers but then I always seem to pick the wrong one. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to choose the right answer. Please let me know because this is one area where I need some serious help!! Thanks:D

This book is page after page of questions to get you used to prioritizing. It might be helpful to you.

Good Luck!

thank you so much- I had the same problem, over and over priority questions. I'll look into this book then.

Also suggest using this book. It seems to be the only one of its kind at this time.

The easiest way I find for myself is to use your ABC's and if that doesn't help then start working your way up Maslow's triangle. I have not have any trouble since looking at them this way.

ABCs always first

Physical before psychosocial problems

Actual before potential problems

Acute before chronic problems

I have a question about priority questions on the NCLEX. Will the NCLEX have questions that are similar to the ones that Saunders has for their review (Saunders priority questions have you number your steps 1-6 with 1 being your first priority). Or will they be the type of priority question that gives you 5 answers and you select 1. Or will there be both types on the NCLEX?

I'm struggling with the numbering of the steps, but doing really well with the "choose 1 answer" type of priority question.

Thanks!

Usually they are "what would you do FIRST", "what is the MOST IMPORTANT first nursing intervention?"
