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
Here are the files for the random fact thread. I can not remembber if it is all of it , but I am sure it is the majority of it. Some of the diseases may be repeats but they are by diffrent posters. these are up to page 309. Will copy and post the others soon.
Previously, in one of your posts you wrote that you have something for the ones who are going to take RN. I can not pm you since I'm new. Could you pls post it here or mail me
try the other mneumonics for infection control, MRS WEE, my chicken hez TB and I forget the other one but they are posted a couple of pages back I wrote these down when I began my test because your nerves are really gone and it will help you with these types of questions. Goo Luck to all I know you can do it Just remember its just a test and you will not freak out as bad if you freak out during the test pull yourself together as soon as possible take a short break and get it together. You all will do fine.And don't forget to try the Pearson Vue trick a friend of my was able to call and have me do it ten minutes after her test. If you don't know what the trick is look it up on the NCLEX Discussion board and its explained there. GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU GUYS
Colloidal Silver is usually excreted from the body when administered in low amounts (under 50 mg per day), but when it accumulates, it can cause "argyria" which turns the skin grey or BLUE!
Hi guys I have a quetion taking my boards in a couple of days and totally scared:cry: I was wondering what is the immediate treatment for a MI? i have heard MONA and ONAM??? help!!!
the IMMEDIATE treatment for a MI is MONA: Morphine, Oxygen, Nitro, and Aspirin. Other treatments would be high fowlers (60-90 degrees up in bed), starting an IV line (LARGE BORE! 18 or bigger), and EKG. I hope this helps! GOOD LUCK! I just took my Boards today in NM. ! :)
