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

My classmate told me a good way to remember Tetralogy of Fallow: She said think Real Oxygenation Problem Very Scary which the letters stand for Right ventricular hypertrophy, Overriding aorta, Pulmonary stenosis, Ventricular septal defect.
Hi! I am taking the NCLEX tomorrow and hope to come out as a Registered Nurse thanks to Kaplan, some Saunders and Lacharity, and this amazing thread! This is my first post as I just finally created an account today, and here are my 5 random NCLEX facts!
1. Urinary output is the most reliable measurement to assess cardiac output and tissue perfusion.
2. A priority intervention for patients on antiemetics is protection from injury, since most antiemetics cause drowsiness.
3. Alcohol, infection, bed rest, and certain medications such as decongestants and antidepressants may contribute to urinary retention.
4. Normal IOP is 10-21 mm Hg and usually higher in the morning.
5. Breastfeeding is NOT contraindicated for clients with hep B IF the neonate has been vaccinated.
thank you to everyone for your facts and good luck to those who need it! ?
I take my NCLEX at 2 PM, and even though I told myself I wasn't doing any more studying, I'm skimming through this! It's perfect, and it's reassuring to see how much of it I already know!
DI is a deficiency in ADH. You can't hold water with this deficit so you're peeing like crazy and super thirsty! Since you're peeing water (4-30L/day) then you have hypernatremia. Other s/s are of dehydration. Tachy, low Bp, elevated temp! Meds to tx is pitressin! Give hypotonic fluids!
SIADH: too much ADH. Your body holds onto too much water= you can't pee! Edema, high Bp because too much volume, hyponatremia! Treat with declomycin and give hypertonic fluids to pull fluids out the cells! Pc is cerebral edema!
Thyroid indirectly stimulates the heart. You got problems with your thyroid, you can also bet your hearts gonna be in trouble too!
Never give kayexate with diminished bowel sounds! Always assess bowel sounds before giving!
