Dear Friends:
Sam Doak, my heart aches for you and your dilemma as you give wrong answers
on nursing tests in order to pass the course. You will have to study a lot to
learn those wrong answers.
Journal of Human Lactation, Vol. 23, No. 4, 345-349 (2007 had an article
about this very thing; the authors reviewed 6 major nursing texts and tallied
up the inaccuracies about breastfeeding. "Breastfeeding Information in
Nursing Textbooks Needs Improvement" is their conclusion. (About a year earlier,
these same folks reviewed medical texts and found the same thing.)
If you have the time and energy, you could speak with the heads of the
various nursing departments of obstetrics and pediatrics, as well as the top head
of the whole nursing program and educate them. You might mention the AAP drug
list......nurses have to follow the doctor's orders, and if the AAP says
that certain drugs are safe, how could a nursing text refute that?? (This could
be a trump card.)
You could offer to do a presentation for your peers as a project for the
class, so at least your fellow students would be exposed to the accurate
information.
Good luck! We all have to help each other with this one.
warmly,
Nikki Lee RN, BSN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE, CIMI
