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
*pain never killed anyone - look for the life threatening problem
* stay away from restraints as long as you can
*always assess the patient before the machine
*always assume the worst - dont pick answers that "do nothing"
*digoxin + hypokalemia = toxicity
* never pick "passing the buck" answers (ex. ask your doctor)
hope these help.
I am finally "seeing" what you have posted after taking Kaplan!! ty for posting this again. I believe in the power of prayer.... say one for me on Thursday??
For those of you that are looking for the random fact throwing documents please look at pg 385 post #3844 there r links for a download. Hope this helps and good luck to all of us who are trying to pass the NCLEX
