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
1 Decongestants cause vasoconstriction, which will cause an increas in the blood pressure. This will increase the difficulty in maintaining control of the client's hypertension. It may also cause a headache, but this is secondary to the increase in blood pressure
IF a Pt has hypertenstion / (BPH then he ) or she dont take Decongents.
Ok my points are Priority points that i have learned over the months.
Tricky points if you see a pat with blood sugar or 222 and K+ of 59 WHO do you see first. ?
Also you have a patient going into a seizure do you move all the furniture away first of do you put the patient on its side First these the things and points you need to know. What do you do first.
if you see a pregnant woman come into the Er with a umbilical cord protruding out the belly wht position do you put her in
Thank God! I passed with the help of this thread. Thank you all for your tips, good luck to all those taking the test in the future, and keep studying hard.
I haven't confused #1 and #3... I learned this from the Saunders Comprehensive Review book... in a triage situation you are to quickly assess and aid those who you can help to survive in the long run before you help those who are severely/critically injured.
