I just started a thread exactly like this one on the General Student board! LOL.....well, can definitely use one THERE, too.

Anyway, since NCLEXers are looking here:

Immediate tx of MI, think MONA:
M Morphine sulfate
O Oxygen
N Nitroglycerin
A ASA


Treatment of CHF, think UNLOAD FAST:
U sit Upright
N Nitro
L Lasix
O Oxygen
A Aminophylline
D Digoxin

F Fluids- decrease
A Afterload - decrease
S Sodium - decrease
T Tests: dig level, ABG, K+

Assistive devices -- Canes:
C Cane
O Opposite
A Affected
L Leg

Signs of a Cholinergic Crisis, think SLUD:

S Salivation
L Lacrimation
U Urination
D Defication

Memory Trick:Need to remember which kind of beta blocker has which action?

B1 Blocks the heart (you have only one heart)
B2 Blocks the lungs (you have two lungs)

First there is snow(white), then mud season (brown), and the grass comes out (green obviously).

As for the left side, I try to remember that financially that it is always better to be in the black, than in the red (financially).

That is how I remember it anway.

I learned by
White on the right
Clouds over grass (white over green)
Smoke over fire (black over red)
and poop in the middle (brown)

OD is the right eye

You can remember which one is the right eye (OD), because you can make the D into an R - You just have to draw to stick legs on the bottom of the D. Write it down on paper, you'll see what I mean (it's hard to show you when all I can do is type)

Another way to remember the eyes is:
You look OUt with Both eyes.
Take the Right dose so you won't OD [overdose].
The only one that is Left is OS.
· Both eyes=OU, Right eye=OD, Left eye=OS.
Works for me
