OK I know this sounds stupid but I have a friend that gets really freaked out before big tests like finals, HESI, NCLEX, and usually we get together and a few days before I start throwing out random facts at her. On 2 different tests she said the only way she got several questions was from the random facts that I threw at her that she never would have thought of!
SOOOOO..... I thought that if yall wanted to do this we could get a thread going and try to throw out 5 random facts or "things to remember". NCLEX is coming and the more I try to review content the more I realize that I have forgotten so......here are my 5 random facts for ya:
OH and BTW these came from rationales in Kaplan or Saunders no made up stuff:
1️⃣ A kid with Hepatitis A can return to school 1 week within the onset of jaundice.
2️⃣ After a patient has dialysis they may have a slight fever...this is normal due to the fact that the dialysis solution is warmed by the machine.
3️⃣ Hyperkalemia presents on an EKG as tall peaked T-waves
4️⃣ The antidote for Mag Sulfate toxicity is ---Calcium Gluconate
5️⃣ Impetigo is a CONTAGEOUS skin disorder and the person needs to wash ALL linens and dishes seperate from the family. They also need to wash their hands frequently and avoid contact.
Oh, ohh, one more...
? Vasopressin is also known as antidiuretic hormone
The physician prescribes heparin 25,000 U in 250 ml of normal saline solution to infuse at 600 U/hour for a client who suffered an acute myocardial infarction. After 6 hours of heparin therapy, the client's partial thromboplastin time is subtherapeutic. The physician orders an increase in the infusion to 800 U/hour. The nurse should set the infusion pump to deliver how many milliliters per hour?

All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck -- who keeps right on going -- is the man who is there when the good luck comes -- and is ready to receive it. (Robert Collier)
No matter what happens just go in there and do your best. It sounds like you have a case of NCLEX overthinking syndrome .There is only 1 cure........... a nice afternoon of relaxation. Just passively read through this thread the day before, but no more hard-core studying.

Nephropathy (Progressive decrease in kidney function)
Coronary artery disease (CAD), most common- atheroslerosis
Beta cell of the Islets of Langerhands in the pancreas secretes:
Insulin lowers blood glucose level and promotes transport and entry of glucose into the muscle cells and other tissues
Glucagon raises blood glucose
Somatostatin a growth hormone that affects bone growth, muscles, and other organs
Diabetic Ketoacidosis- Insufficient insulin can cause ketone production which works it's way into the urine. The increased levels of ketones are due to lack of glucose which results in diabetic ketoacidosis.
Causes: Poor insulin producton from the beta cells of the pangreas resulting in excessive levels of glucose in the blood stream that cannot be used due to the lack of insulin. The Patient continuously feels hungery.
Type II diabetes
Insulin is present but the body is not responding appropriately. Insulin resistance is present resulting in hyperglycemia.
