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.

question on sickle cell crisis, which one should you administer first oxygen or normal saline (for dehydration) accdg. la charity it's oxygen, accdg. to saunders first is adequate hydration, on increasing oxygen it for tissue perfusion..(accdng. to intervention) which is which?
I would administer oxygen first then while the patient is on O2, i would administer IV, besides its quicker to administer O2 than to insert an IV. Low O2 is what triggers sicle cell crisis. the questio is what would you do first, but if the question is asking what is most important, then my answer would be hydration...
hey about the question what to do first-cover the place with normal saline or check BP etc...
crazy! I would first cover it, it takes seconds..then would check BP HR. Dont you think if patient would develop shock it would be very obvious?? It goes fast. If he had symptoms I would check BP but he is fine now, let's cover it!!:)
It's true and practical. The problem is that if it is correct answer for NCLEX. I have read that if you want to pass you need to think NCLEX while answering question.
