10+ year RN would highly discourage- Innacurate information, questions confusing for new grads, etc
I have a friend who is close to graduation and was looking for some good NCLEX style practice questions. I was reviewing this book and found most, if not all questions were highly innacurate or irrelevant.
Specific examples:
Question 4 uses the words NG tube & feeding tube interchangeably. An NG can be used as a feeding tube however I would say that is not the most prevalent use. It also says in rationale that medications cannot be administered thru a feeding tube. This is an outright lie. Patients that are NPO and have a feed tube receive all their meds via feed tube.
Question 8 starts off with "The nurse gives Demerol..." The last person I knew to receive Demerol was my mother in 1996. No joke.
Question 9 states that fever nor dyspnea are signs of an allergic or adverse reaction to receiving blood. Again, wrong!
Question 10 states blood should only be administered through a "16G needle". Again, completely wrong. MOST blood products can be administered thru a 20G. But an 18G is large enough for all blood products. Not to mention you don't administer blood through a "needle", it goes through an IV.
I stopped after this question. Doesn't sound like this author has ever been a nurse.
