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
I believe God, Helped me pass Nclex through this site. I failed nclex twice and I never knew this site existed until my second failure. I typed failed Nclex twice on google and look where it landed me? Here:D. I learned alot from facts throwing, I mean alot. The infectious control site helped big time, did I mention I had this prioritization book by Lacharity and never used in my first two exams. Finally This site mentioned it and I was preparing to go buy the book when I realized I had it.. Thank you very much you guys, Feliz and everyone who posted useful material in here. God bless.
l am using this stratedy to learn psychotropic medications.
Most drugs especially psychotropic medications acts as CNS STIMULANTS OR CNS DEPRESSANTS. THIS strategy invovles in determining which are the cns exictations and CNS INHIBITIORS. if 3 of the options are all cns up and 1 CNS DOWN- pick the CNS DOWN. if 3 of the options are all cns down and 1 is CNS UP - pICK THE CNS UP.
FOR EXAMPLE.
The nurse administer WYAMINE to a client. The nurse should monitor which of the following adverse effect associated with WYAMINE.
HYPOTENSION
BRADYCARDIA
SHOCK
HYPERTENSION
THE ANSWER IS (d) HYPERTENSION BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY ONE WITH HIGN CNS.
The nurse is monitoring client receiving Parnate (MAO) which serious side effect or adverse reaction can occur with high dose of MAO
MUSCLE SPASTICITY
BRADYCARDIA
HYPOTENSION
DEPRESSION
THE ANSWER IS MUSCLE SPASTICITY - ONLY ONE WITH HIGH CNS

c) understands the treatment and the information presented to him/her
Requirements of health care provider (perfomer of the treatment, procedure or surgery):
a) shares and discusses with the client information about planned treatment, procedure or surgery, its risks/benefits and alternate treatments
b) gives the client an opportunity to ask questions and have all questions answered
If a client waves right to informed consent, that client's decision must be documented in the client's medical record
If client is deemed incompetent to make his/her own informed decisions about health care in a court of law, a court-appointedguardian makes these decisions
Informed consent for minors is obtained from the client's parent or the legal guardian, except in emergency situations, when a minor is married or emancipated from parents, or with special needs of care such as a drug addiction, sexually transmitted disease or pregnancy
An emancipated minor has established independence from his/her parents through marriage, pregnancy, service in the armed forces or by court order
An emancipated minor is considered legally capable of signing an Informed Consent
Parental or guardian consent must be obtained before initiating treatment for a minor except in the following cases:
a) an emergency
b) in situations in which the consent of the minor is sufficient such as: treatment related to drug abuse/addiction, treatment for a sexually transmitted disease, HIV testing and AIDS treatment, birth control devices, pregnancy or psychiatric services, emancipated minor or if a court order or other legal authorization has been obtained
A client has the right to withdraw consent to a treatment or procedure at any time
The minimum age for an emancipated minor is 13 years old in California ---may vary depending on the state
A client who has been sedated or has been given any other drug that can affect his/her cognitive abilities should not be asked to sign a consent
When a nurse is involved in the informed consent process, the nurse is the witnessonly of the client's signature on the informed consent. Is the doctor's responsibility to inform the client and to request the client to sign the form if the client fully understood the procedure he/she is consenting to.
Definitions:
Minor= a client under legal age as defined by state statue (usually younger than 18)
Mentally or emotionally incompetent clients = unconscious, under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs, chronic dementia or other mental deficiency
Informed consent= the client's approval (or that of the client's legal representative) to have his/her body touched by a specific individual

Good Evening friends,
Pay attention to this one, my friends, for it is particularly good. Thanks, Dayo for sharing this one. feliz3
I totally agree! Excellent note!Hi Feliz! I read one of your notes, you said you tried kaplan 3x. Did you go into the video or just question trainner, qbank, textbook, and live class. Has the Saunder been helping alot more better? Im not sure if I should just focus one book Saunder, I keep falling asleep reading the book.
chronic- level will elevate no more than 3x normal value. acute-may exceed 5x
tube feeding-room temp
mag sulfate-cause low resp & hyporeflexia
maternal-put infant to woman breast-help with contraction with uterus(good for postpardum)
(mrsa)contact precaution, however, mask,goggles,gown,gloves needed during intervention(procedure)to prevent splash.(so tx like airborn prec during colostomy care for ex.)
:yeah:
