Let's have some fun learning. Each person should throw out 5 random facts or "things to remember" before taking your finals, HESI, NCLEX, etc.
Updated:
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
OK your turn....
does anyone know any helpful tips for remembering the different types of solutions like d5w, lactated ringers, and the others, and their classifications such as hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic.

Post op maintenance IV fluid formula (4.2.1).
Explanation: Total body weight in kilos rounded to nearest 5 kg Ex. 60kg
first 10 kg X 4 ex: 10 kg x 4 = 40
PLUS
next 10 kg X 2 ex: 10 kg X 2 = 20
PLUS
next 10 kg X 1 ex: 10 kg x 1 = 10
PLUS
remaining total body weight ex: 60kg - 30kg = 30
Total cc/hr (40+20+10+30) = 100 cc/hr

*Alkalosis = A Low K (Potassium)
*Always remember to offer self- by never leaving the patient, and picking the choice that the nurse stays with the patient is usually a good choice!
* Increased = Increase specificgravity (greater than 1.030)- concentrated urine- dehyration (fluid volume deficit)
* You must get a culture and sensitivity before you initiate antibiotics
*Don't think about the length of experience when delegating tasks, just remember if you delegate the right task to the righ person, then the RN should not have to explain how to perform task but they may need to asses!
*Epigastric pain and nausea in OB patients with Pregnancy Induced Hyptertension could indicate impending seizure!
