Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

Let's have some fun learning. Each person should throw out 5 random facts or "things to remember" before taking your finals, HESI, NCLEX, etc. Nursing Students NCLEX Article

Updated:  

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....

CHON= is protein, CHO is Carbohydrates

thanks , i was wrong, thanks for correction.

i dont know if i am in the right thread for this question but am gonna ask it anyway...can two pneumonia patient having different pathological infection share one hospital room? (cohort) for example one has a pneumococcal pneumonia and the other has mycoplasmal pneumonia. thanks!

here are some common clinical signs:

coopernail's sign - ecchymoses on the perineum, scrotum, or labia; assoicated w/ fracture of the pelvis.

brushfield's sign - speckling of iris, associated w/ down syndrome.

simian crease - traverse palmar or plantar crease; assoicated w/ down syndrome

knie's sign - unequal dilation of the pupils, associated w/ graves disease.

psoas sign - pain induced by hyperextension of the right thigh while lying on the left side; associated w/ appendicitis.

i dont know if i am in the right thread for this question but am gonna ask it anyway...can two pneumonia patient having different pathological infection share one hospital room? (cohort) for example one has a pneumococcal pneumonia and the other has mycoplasmal pneumonia. thanks!

I would say no even if both patients have pneumonia the organism causing the disease is different, with a different incubation period and symptoms. Pneumococcal pneumonia incubation period is 1-3 days, and it mode of transmission is droplet spread. The organism is Streptococcus pneumoniae and this organism is gram positive and encapsulated.

Mycoplasma pneumonia is also called "walking pneumonia". Mycoplasmas are classified nor as a bacteria neither a virus but having the characteristics of both. Mycoplasma pneumonia is gram negative, lacks cell wall, causes respiratory infections, can survive without oxygen and that is why it can cause urinary tract infections, as well. It incubation time 14-21 days, the transmission mode is droplet inhalation, affects children over 3 years old and young adults. This type of pneumonia, Mycoplasms, is usually milder than pneumococcal for these reasons comparing both organisms I would no to cohost. You have to understan the immune system of a patient with this type of pneumonia is already fighting this disease...think what it would do to the patient by exposing it to stronger pathogenic organism. I hope this helps. feliz3

Wow this is awesome

the normal range for the pr interval is 0.12 to 0.20 second.:up:

Hi my friend Feliz,

Have you taken your ncles yet? its been a long time.... having taken nclex in dec seems far . This days I work in ICU...thats an exam i dont wish to take in my life.. Goodluck feliz...

normal value for sweat chloride concentration is less than 40 mEq/L. If greater than 60 mEq/L is an indication of Cystic Fibrosis

can someone explain to me i'm confuse,

nurse is reviewing laboratory result of pt. with cushing syndrome.which laboratory findings would expect to note on the client? Blood glucose of 110mg/dl, Potassium of K+ 5.5, w.b.c 6000, platelet 300,000. ??

From what i know the expected finding or assessment for cushing is hypokalemia that's why you have to give potassium to increase it. After laboratory would u expect that the potassium suppose to be high? coz that answer to that is Potassium 5.5. What i've answer is glucose even it is on normal values, or it has increase a bit since cushing is hyperglycemia.

if you reword the question, is it suppose to be, after a pt. had a laboratory testing, what is the expected outcome?. I'm still thinking it's hypokalemia.anyone?

1. A positive Kernig's Sign is a manifestation of meningeal irritation

2. A serum creatinine above1.4 mg/dl indicates renal failure

3. Epioglottis develops acutely and emergently

4. Bells Palsy is Cranial Nerve VII

5. Bridiging Technique ,which I had never heard of is a type os positioning of pillows used to relieve pressure on bony prominences.:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat

Specializes in CCU-CCRN.

1. Classic triad for Pheochromocytoma: severe, pounding HA, tachycardia, profuse sweating

2.Cushings triad for ICP: slow RR, increased Systolic with no change in Diastolic, and bradycardia 40-50.

3.Classic triad for Pulmonary Embolism: acute onset of dyspnea with SOB, chest pain, hemoptysis.

very nervous, taken NCLEX on March 14.:rolleyes:

Hi all, this answer is for Korleone and the question that was posted. According to saunders 4th ed. on pg 695. Under interventions, it says to monitor lab values such as wbc, glucose, sodium, potassium, and csalcium. I think the answer to you question is hyperkal. since that is the only lab vale that is out of range. All others are within range. I'm taking this exciting nclex-rn once again :banghead: so i know how they love to word these questions. After constant studying with saunders and kaplan i have learned to go with what I know.:rolleyes::typing Hopefully these time I will see PASS and not FAIL. I hope i was useful for your question. If im on the wrong track with my ans. please let me know :up:
