Live counts for the transition-to-practice pathway — scoped inventory, not the full NCLEX-RN marketing corpus.

Content inventory

Live question counts are temporarily unavailable. The in-app bank and CAT still use the same pathway filters (US region, plan tier for this track, exam codes: NCLEX-RN, NCLEX_RN).

What new grads need to know

  • Neutropenic precautions are environmental and procedural — not a poster.
  • Chemo timelines and cycle day dictate expected toxicities.
  • Goals of care may evolve visit to visit — document sensitively.

Common patient presentations

  • Febrile neutropenia as an emergency until proven otherwise.
  • Tumor lysis risk with bulky disease or rapid cell turnover.
  • Pain, nausea, and constipation clusters during active treatment.

Priority assessments

  • Oral mucosa, skin, and IV sites daily for infection.
  • Bleeding signs when platelets are low.
  • Fluid balance with nephrotoxic chemo agents.

Safety risks

  • Extravasation from vesicant infusions.
  • Transfusion reactions and massive transfusion protocols in hematology.
  • Clostridioides difficile in broad-spectrum courses.

Medications, labs, and equipment

Medications

  • Antiemetic and bowel regimens tailored to regimen emetogenicity.
  • Growth factors only when indicated — watch for bone pain.
  • TLS prophylaxis when protocols trigger.

Labs & monitoring

  • CBC differentials trending neutrophils and platelets.
  • Renal function with nephrotoxic drugs.
  • Electrolytes during TLS risk windows.

Equipment & environment

  • Pumps programmed by credentialed staff with double-checks.
  • Filtered masks and visitor policies during neutropenia.
  • PCA pumps with respiratory monitoring when opioids escalate.

Communication & reporting

  • Oncology team updates that pair symptoms with cycle day.
  • Palliative care introductions as extra support, not abandonment.
  • Clinical trial consent clarity — who answers questions after hours.
