Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

[CrazyScrubNurse]

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

OK your turn....

can someone help me with this one? i'm trying to see exactly what it was looking for.

the nurse cares for a patient with an ng tube attached to low suction. the patient has an iv of d5lr (5% dextrose in lactated ringers). the physician's orders state 1,200 ml of d5lr to infuse in 24 hours, and replace nasogastric drainage every 3 hours. the patient's fluid loss between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. is 200 ml. how many ml of iv fluids should the nurse administer to the patient between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.?

any help is appreciated..:typing

given:

d5lr ordered - 1200ml/24hours or 50ml/hour

8am-11am fluid loss- 200ml

so:

we replace the fluid loss from 8am to 11am: 200ml

iv fluid from 11am to 2pm would be: 150ml

answer:

200ml + 150ml = 350ml

i hope i'm right. if i made a mistake please correct me.

gi drugs:

1. histamine-2 antagonists -- usually ends with -tidine, reduces gastric acid, take with meals and at bedtime

2. antacids -- usually salts (calcium salts, aluminum salts, magnesium salts), other antacids are sodium bicarb and magaldrate, neutralizes acid, take 1 hour before or 2 hours after any oral med, give between doses of sucralfate

3. proton pump inhibitors - usually ends with -prazole, blocks the final step of acid production, must be swallowed whole and taken before meals.

4. antipeptic agents - example: sucralfate, protects eroded ulcer sites, give on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after meal & at bedtime), this can interfere with absorption of oral agents like antacids.

5. prostaglandin- example: misoprostol(cytotec) --> the famous abortifacient. take with meals and at bedtime. inhibits gastric acid

6.digestive enzymes- a)saliva substitutes (used in stroke, radiation, chemotherapy) b) pancrelipase (take with meals and snacks; used in cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis etc.)

you're definitely right! im confused with the q since i didn't bother the fluid loss and just compute the fluid needed for 11am-2pm so i got only 150. thanks..:typing

ctt

water seal chamber - intermittent bubbling (report if it's continuous)

suction chamber- must have gentle, continuous bubbling
