With out adequate cardiac perfusion, there will be no renal perfusion, which can lead to kidney failure. By looking at BUN (normal: 7-20) and creatinine (n: 0.8-1.4) you can evaluate renal function. The renal and cardiac system are always closely related, always working in response to each other. It is also important to asses I & O and fluid volume to evaluate renal function

I just took my NCLEX-RN this morning; 75 questions in 90 minutes. I got the good pop-up, so fingers crossed! :) This thread was very helpful in reviewing for the exam. Good luck to all of you!

Hello there guys, I have been reading all these threads before I was even graduated, to be honest it helped me a lot. I graduated on december 2010. I had been doing the kaplan and then read through this. I took my exam yesterday...the computer shut off on question 75. I do not know if I will be able to check the results during the weekend. I am in MidMissouri. I checked pearsonvue website, I follow all the steps and pop up the little window that says i need to contact my member board for further assistance, so i hope that is a good sign. :uhoh3:

(2) W/ Hodgkin's Disease (type of lymphoma) there is a presence of reed sternberg cells
