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
thanks soooooo much for posting the veal chop for the accels and decels...i always had trouble remembering that...my last fact before taking the nclex.
if there is an intervention in the choices for priority questions and its a position...raise bed up..put in trend position...turn on left side ect....then 90% of the time thats the answer.

good luck nicole! you are in my thoughts... have a safe and nice drive to raleigh (right?). best wishes and i am confident that you'll do well.
i know this is too simple but i just want to clarify it...
is this the correct step? inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation
thanks!
The correct order should be:Inspect, auscultate, palpate, and percuss...
Later...
Sorry, but the correct order is as the first poster stated: Inspection, palpation, percussion and then auscultation unless it is the abdominal region. In that case the steps are inspection, auscultation, percussion, and then palpation.

My posting was about abdominal assessment. I have in my NCLEX book (Exam Cram NCLEX-RN 2nd ed. Practice questions... p388) black and white that the correct sequence of assessing the abdomen is Inspect, Auscultate, Palpate, then Percuss.

Think about a patient with appendicitis...
On one of my cd's(NO wonder I tend to get this wrong) the correct order is

Guys! You may be right, but I don't see how you can percuss then palpate! Anyway! I am going to look into additional books, but I have to admit that I respectfully disagree with you.

Buttercup! Tomorrow it's a new day. I am going try to get some literature on the subject (abdominal assessment). But to be honest with you I thought that my assessment sequence was the right one! I may be learning sth new!
3. Myocardial infaraction always relieve pain with morphine 1st. sometimes the choice oxygen will be in the same question. choose morphine.
On kaplin in the question trainer last week, I chose O2 and swore I got it wrong, which agrees with what you just said. However, to night in Qbank it once again offere Morphine and Oxygen and this time Oxygen was the right answer. The rational said, and I am not making this up, you would give morphine second but you don't get credit for second best answers. It also said Morphine was circulation and O2 was respiratory and follow ABC's. Still the main problem is cardiac and morphine would reduce strain on the heart.... I don't know. On the NCLEX I'll just close my eyes and pick one I guess. Oh yeah one more think, the acronym MONA suggests you'd give morphine first. IDKWTD
