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
topical corticosteroids can be absorbed into the systemic circulation. absorption is higher from regions where the skin is especially permeable (scalp, axilla, face, eyelids, neck, perineum, genitalia), and lower from regions where permeability is poor (back, palms, soles).
The normal platelet count is 150,000 to 450,000/mm3. When the platelets are lower than 50,000 /mm3, any small trauma can lead to episodes of prolonged bleeding. The normal white blood cell count is 5,000 to 10,000/mm3. When the white blood cell count drops, neutropenic precautions need to be implemented. The normal clotting time is 8 to 15 minutes. The normal ammonia value is 15 to 45 mcg/dL.
Hi Prado, I was wondering if you can help me I will be taking my hesi on end of Jan. I was hoping if you can send me some materials so that I can pass my hesi exam. Thank you so much.....
1. If mishap occured like patient fell, write up an incident report and NEVER chart in the medical records that an incident report was filed.
2. If px died and was found on drivers license to be an organ donor, still have to get permission from next of kin before taking organs. order of priority is
1st ask the spouse, if none...2nd ask son or daughter, 3rd mother, 4th adult brother or sister, 5th Legal Guardian.
3. For airborne diseases measles, varicella, TB....use a particulate filter mask not a surgical mask
4. For droplet isolation patients, everyone must wear a mask if they are going wtihin 3 feet of the patient.
5. PKU, baby born without ability to utilize essential amino acid called phenylalanine so don't give diet soda bec it contains nutrisweet, nutrisweet contains phenylalanine.
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. ! :)
Hi, i was taught that immediate treatment for MI is Oxygen (Airway/breathing), Nitro (circulation), Morphine, Aspirin
