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
(note- i got this from my teacher back in nursing school, credit goes to her.)
pneumonic: oh, oh oh, to touch and feel a girls v**ina, and heaven.
cn1- olfactory- sense of smell
cn2- optic- sense of sight
cn3- occulomotor- inspect assymetry of eyes and ptosis.
cn4- trochlear- pupil equality and reaction to light.
cn5- trigeminal- sensation of eyes, nose, facial skin& chewing
cn6- abducens- eye movements
cn7- facial- anterior 2/3 taste of tongue.
cn8- acoustic- hearing & balance
cn9- glossopharyngeal- ability to swallow, salivation, posterior taste of the tongue.
cn10-vagus- sensation of the external ear.
cn11-accessory spinal- sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles, shoulder & neck rotation.
cn12-hypoglossal- tongue movements, tongue assyymmetry, muscle tone and fasciculations.
* types of posturing* ( associated with spinal cord injury)
decorticate- arms are flexed towards the "core" or center of the body.
decerebrate- arms are extended away from core.
stroke- always remember that if the client in the description has left sided cva, feed them on that side, reason being that each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body.
(ex) left sided cva- feed them on left side, this is considered the unaffected side. the right side is considered the weak side.
- give soft foods for dysphagia, and approach the client from unaffected side.
for all eye surgery- all of them should be positioned on the unaffected side post-op. (except for): detached retina. client should lie on the affected side to further prevent retinal detachment.
also, oh oh oh to touch and feel a guys vagus and head... lol

In renal failure the clent becomes hyperkalemic because they can not excrete potassium into the urin.
Polystyrene sulfonate (Kayexalate): exchanges potassium for sodium.
It provides the machanism for potassium excretion by pulling potassium into the bowels and exchaning it for sodium.
remember this for practice when u start working........."K-X" tastes bad and makes ur pt go and go and then go some more. sometimes even explosive diarhea. learned that the hard way. oh and always always always keep a spare set of scrubs, and socks in ur locker at work, and when u do use them which every nurse does in the beginning dont forget to replace ur spare set. lol. i speak from a smelly nauseating experience yum yum
