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
There is a great study guide called Pearls, it just has facts (one liners) it was very valuble to me when studying for NCLEX, as our study group also did alot of fact throwing in a random style.
Where can we get that Pearls study guide you mentioned...thanks!

I am taking NCLEX on the 25th and I know I have forgotten so much. This is really a big help.
I only have a couple but hopefully they will help.
macular degeneration: mac is in the middle (central vision loss)
digoxin toxicity: halos, nausea, vomiting
Fractured hip: shorter extremity and external rotation
hip replacement: teach pt not to cross legs; keep leg abducted to avoid dislocation of hip
