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
what is disseminated intravascular coagulation and s/s?
What is Rh immunization for pregnant?
I am so confused.
Rh immunization for pregnant is:
Rh immunization of Rhogam is given when an Rh incompatibility occurs, which only oocurs if the mother is Rh negative and the baby being born is Rh positive. It does NOT occur when an Rh positive mom gives birth to an RH negative baby.
If some of the baby's red blood cells leak into RH-mom's system, then her body may produce antibodies to the Rh D factor (a condition called sensitization). These antibodies can cross the placenta and destroy the red blood cells in your unborn baby or in the next Rh-positive baby you have.
***In most cases, the mom will not be exposed to the baby's blood until she gives birth....... This usually means that first baby will NOT be affected.
****HOWEVER, large amounts of the baby's blood can leak into the mother during delivery. If the mom is Rh negative, the next Rh-positive baby that she could have may have problems if the Rh-negative mom has developed antibodies
***** Occasionally, in the following situations, some of the baby's blood may leak into the mom's blood system during pregnancy:
1. After amniocentesis or other invasive procedure
2. During a miscarriage or abortion
3. During an ectopic pregnancy
4. If the mom bleeds heavily during pregnancy.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and s/s
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) occurs when the body's clotting mechanisms are activated throughout the body in response to an injury or a disorder, instead of being isolated to the area of initial onset. Platelets circulating throughout the body form small blood clots (thrombi) primarily in the area of the capillaries. This eventually causes the clotting factors to be used up, and none are left to form clots at the site of the injury. The presence of numerous small clots precipitates the release of clot-dissolving mechanisms, and the end result is generalized bleeding throughout the body.
This disorder can result in clots or, more often, in bleeding. The bleeding can be severe.
Risk factors for DIC include:
Blood transfusion reaction
Cancer, including leukemia
Infection in the blood by bacteria or fungus
Pregnancy complications (such as retained placenta after delivery)
Recent surgery or anesthesia
Sepsis (an overwhelming infection)
Severe liver disease
Severe tissue injury (as in burns and head injury)
Signs & Symptoms Include:
Bleeding (possibly from multiple sites in the body),
