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
Anyone who received the email list from Prado or any help- can you pretty pretty please email me something as well [email protected]. Thanks- here are my 5...
1. Mucomyst is the antedote for Tyelnol. Other antedotes protamine sulfate for heparin, vitamin k for coumadin, atropine for anti-cholinergics, EDTA for lead poisioning.
2. Four A's of schizo= flat Affect, Autism, Ambivalence, and loose Associations. Never deny the hallucination just simply say "The may be real to you, but I do not see it".
8. When assessing Perineum for Post-partum woman think REEDA, Redness, edema, ecchymosis, drainage, approximation
9. Wilms tumor= intrarenal tumor seen in children, grows quickly, found by parents during "bath time". DO NOT palpate the abdomen- will cause tumor to "seed".
I could probably go on all day with randomn facts- me and my friends also do the randomn fact thing when we study.
