    Jan 26 2026
    This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation.

    Nursing Exam Prep [NCLEX-RN] 13, Patient Advocacy
    Jan 25 2026
    This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: • Your primary advocacy duty is to the autonomous patient, even when their wishes conflict with their family or the healthcare team. • For non-verbal or vulnerable patients, advocacy means investigating physical causes for changes in behavior before accepting a psychological assumption. • When questioning a provider's order, you must follow a specific sequence: verify the order, consult a reference, and then contact the provider before escalating up the chain of command. • The NCLEX tests advocacy through scenarios that require direct, decisive action; passive choices like "document and monitor" are often incorrect. • Use the mental shortcut "Speak Up For Safety" to remember your core advocacy role in protecting patients from harm and upholding their rights.
