For those of you who have trouble with mcg/kg/min problems.
try this solution.
Exp: 7mg of dopamine in 500ml in NS ; pt is 110lbs
first convert 110lbsto kg =110lbs/2.2 kg=50kg
then change 7 mg to mcg =7000 mcg
Now plug in the numbers. 7000* 50kg*60mins
------------------
500ml
answer is 16.8 mcg/kg/min

For all things about MMR, including isolation precautions go to CDC.gov.... if you just type in isolation precautions under the search it will pull up a COMPLETE list of every precaution for pretty much every disease known to man. LOL
Hope this helps!
A way we were taught to remember which Beta Blockers are contra-indicated in patients with Resp problems are easy....
Contra-Indicated- so think.... Coreg, Corgard, Inderal
hope this helps!
These are just some little things I've picked up along the way.. nothing new to most I'm sure.
Insulin- Clear before cloudy.
& you are an RN so draw up Regular before ....Nph.
Only insulin that can be given IV- Regular.
Administering ear medication... pull the ear UP and back for OLD, and down for young (
Fill for a thrill, listen for a bruit.
Assess your patient. not the monitor.... So, If a question asks what you do FIRST.... always, always go with assess the patient.
More to come, as I learn. Maybe these will help someone out. they did me!

These are just some random facts for my upcoming PN exam on Friday:no:
Carbamazepine therapeutic serum level is 4 - 12 mcg/dL
Cycloserine is an antituburculan and needs weekly drug levels
foscarnet (Foscavir) can be toxic to kidneys so creatinine is monitored.
Android Pelvis is wedge shaped, narrow and unfavorable for birth
Therapeutic serum digoxin is 0.5 - 2 mg/dL
No meperidine (Demerol)to pancreatitis pt. b/c is causes spasms in the Sphincter of Oddi
Hyperkalemia = narrow, peaked T waves on cardiac monitor
Hypokalemia = Peaked P, Flat T, Depressed ST and Prominent U
p24 Antigen Assay confirms HIV in an infant
Thanks to everyone for their facts!
Morphine is contraindicated in acute pancreatitis because is causes the spasms but the demerol is the drug of choice. At least that's how I learned it.
Let me know if this has changed

Hi theresa, about the drug Demerol in relation to pancreatitis, it is Morphine/codeine that causes spasm in the sphincter of Oddi. Demerol is actually the drug of choice.
