 Contradictory, but a good place to start October 9, 2007

I bought this book with the Appleton & Lange Outline Review. There is material in one book that is not covered in the other and vice versa, so I believe I am off to a good start. However, there are at least a couple of errors. Once I find an error, it slows down my studying pace to determine which answer is the true correct one. On page 35 it reads patients with congestive heart failure should restrict their sodium intake to 1 gm/day. But on page 102 in the A & L Outline Review it's 2 g/day. I asked a Registered Dietitian, and she says it's 2 gm/day. On page 303 Question 23, the correct answer is said to be A, but on page 389 in the A & L Outline Review, the correct answer would be D. On page 62 Question 19 the correct answer is C, not B. Question 46 on page 113 suggests metronidazole is a better antibiotic than penicillin for acute tetanus infection, but the Outline Review on p. 503 says to give penicillin G. On page 154 Question 31 the correct answer is D not A. The answer to Question 10 on page 177 states "Aspirin use would be less likely with this patient due to the history of gastroesophageal reflux." Yet the question does not mention at all that the patient has any kind of GE disorder. Page 212 Question 50 the answer could be A or C according to the A & L Outline Review, pp 208 and 212. Page 214 states magnesium sulfate is not recommended for preterm labor, yet the A & L Outline Review states on page 245 that magnesium sulfate can be recommended. Page 200 Question 69 the correct answer is B, not A. Page 302 Question 11, the correct answer can be either C or E. Page 406 Question 10 the correct answer is B, not A. Page 352 Question 12 states "the most common type of gallstone in the US" is (A) mixed. That means (E) cholesterol is the wrong answer. However, page 530 of the Outline Review says, "Most stones are cholesterol." A brief Internet search reveals some reliable websites saying 80% are cholesterol, but Wikipedia says most stones are mixed. There are more "typos," but I got tired of listing them. Update: After being a stay-at-home mom and not practicing medicine for several years, I took the PANCE in Jan 2009, and I passed! The most helpful thing was taking as many practice tests as I could find.
