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
This site is great. I take my test in 2 days! I am getting so nervous and I used to do this with my classmates. Thanks for keeping this going.:heartbeat
Some random facts:
Bells Palsy: avoid cold temperatures: make sure pt. closes windows when they are sleeping. Some even take eyes shut.
Nurses' priority intervention after a patient receives a skin graft is to prevent movement of the graft.
Greatest risk for postpartum hemorrhage is from distended bladder.
Herpes zoster (shingles) is from reactivation of the varicella virus.
1 grain = 60mg (I always forget this one)
Risk factors for legionnaires disease: advanced age, immunosuppression, end stage renal disease, and diabetes
The best way I tend to remember things is by mneumonics like:
EleVate Veins; dAngle Arteries for better perfusion
Peds - kids are 1/2 their adult height by age 5!
Post-partum - cabbage leaves help with discomfort of engorged breasts -- they don't know why.
Respiratory: pink puffers - emphysema
blue bloaters - bronchitis
Anyone have a better mneumonic than On Old Olympus for the cranial nerves? I can't seem to remember them by that one... also, what about the Some Say Money Makes Sense... or whatever to indicate which CN is sensory and which are motor (and which are both)?

These are a GREAT way to review -- keep it up!!
This is going to sound perverted but here is another way to remember the CRANIAL NERVES.
Oh Oh Oh, To Touch And Feel Virgin Girls Violins Ah Heavenly.
some say marry money but my brother says big breasts mean more.

the cabbage? Eat it? or put it on their breasts? and as far as a memory tool for cranial nerves, I have a great one, it's a drawing of a face. Let's see I think I have a link. Ok I have to look for it but I will get back to yall. it 7's surrounding the face sideways 3's for the eyebrows....etc. I'll find one and post it
Ok well I can't find that picture, but I managed to roughly draw it in paintbrush, but don't know how to put a file here.....if anyone wants it can you send me a pm. I really helped me thru neuro because the place each nerve controls is identified by the number.......and it looks like a face! lol
the cabbage leaves are put inside the support bra, they need to be cold (place in a refrigerator for a lil bit before using) and there is some sort of enzyme from the cabbage leaves helps prevent the milk from being stimulated to develop :)
