Each nursing student will develop her own style of taking notes; an important part of note taking is to:
 
  1. Write the instructor's lecture word for word.
  2. Use your own words and review regularly.
  3. Write the notes and study them before a test.
  4. Tape the lectures to listen to them later.

Question 2

A client with rheumatoid arthritis is recovering from an appendectomy. The client takes aspirin for joint pain. The nurse monitors the wound closely for complications, anticipating which of the following?
 
  1. Delayed healing from the use of aspirin
  2. Increased pain levels due to the arthritis
  3. Pneumonia due to immobility

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Using your own words and reviewing your notes regularly will assist you in remembering the information.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Aspirin delays the healing process, so the nurse monitors healing and assesses for complications. Pneumonia and joint contractures are not part of wound monitoring. Pain at the wound site is not increased due to arthritis.
