Kaplan NCLEX-RN Medications in a Box PDF

These "cards" are not cards. These are printed on flimsy glossy paper. If you are looking for sturdy cards you can bring around with you, these are not going to work for that purpose. They are way larger than they need to be which also takes away from their convenience. They have the drug classification and names on the front with the drug info on the back. If you are trying to quiz yourself to recognize drug categories by the drug name only (which is how they ask it on the NCLEX), these cards are also of no use to you.
I wouldn't have purchased them if I knew these things.

I have three main problems with this kit: quality, content, and accuracy! Problem 1: I'm a little disappointed that the "flash cards" are actually VERY thin, unlike regular note cards. The thickness of the paper is comparable to an advertisement in a magazine! Problem 2: The cards are lacking some very important information. For example, the cards do not list contraindications. NCLEX-RN practice exams DO ask questions such as "(drug name) would be contraindicated in which of the following patients?" For that reason, I'm assuming I WILL need to know contraindications on the real NCLEX exam. Problem 3: Adverse effects, which can be very dangerous and may warrant discontinuing a medication, are listed as SIDE effects. If you are not very familiar with a drug, DO NOT rely on this information. You need to know the difference between a drug's side effects and adverse effects to provide safe care! Also, practice exams often ask questions involving side effects vs. adverse effects, so I expect the real exam to do the same. I've also noticed that some of the medications that are listed as "Rx" (for prescription only) are actually OTC! However, there IS an upside here. The kit includes cards that list all 300 meds by type/class. If I don't return the set, I will just use those cards as my checklist for creating my own flashcards. That way, I will still know what to expect on the exam (according to Kaplan), but I can review ALL of the information that may be on the NCLEX. Based on what I've seen so far, I would rather just make flashcards using info from my drug handbook than trust the Kaplan cards!
