Study Tips
- Use the ADPIE framework (Assess, Diagnose, Plan, Implement, Evaluate) to structure your care plans.
- Practice SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) for clinical communication.
- Focus on priority setting using Maslow's Hierarchy when answering NCLEX-style questions.
- Review lab values regularly — know critical values that require immediate action.
- Connect pathophysiology to pharmacology: understand why a drug works, not just what it does.
