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...

Has anyone ever used ATI testing to prepare for nclex??? If so, did it work?
Hi
When I was in nursing school we had to pass ATI in order to graduate. On the comprehensive they gave what they thought our chance on passing the NCLEX on the first time. Mine was 98% and I passed pnnclex on 85 questions so I think maybe it did help some.
we learned in nursing school that with a patient with obsessive compulsive disorder you arrange for them to have the time they need to finish their rituals, but when i was doing nclex 3500 they said to slowly wean them down a little each day to help them get over their rituals

[color=#556b2f]it says to not iterrupt the behavior unless safety becomes an issue with the patient or anyone around.
[color=#556b2f]it also states to allow time for the pt to finish their particular behavior but to also set limits on certain behaviors that may interfere with the pt's safety....
[color=#556b2f]so in a way i am assuming that both parts to your question are correct, but do correct me if i am wrong.
