I am noticing that I am getting very, very few questions correct in the Qbank of one type. They usually go like this: "A patient volunteers to run on a treadmill. Then the patient has blood drawn and runs again. Which of the following choices describes the changes in the patient after having the blood drawn vs before?"
And then the answers would give a bunch of physiological parameters and all vary as to up-arrow, down-arrow, or stay the same.
I feel like I am overwhelmed by all the data. I usually start thinking that the first parameter would act a certain way, but then I look at the other parameters and they don't match the way I am thinking. So back to the drawing board.
I can never get these right, and if I could even get just 60 percent of them right, I could raise my performance significantly. How should I go through my thinking when I approach these questions? I have read the physiology section of the kaplan books several times, and first aid doesn't go into the detail that it seems would be required to answer these questions.
