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
Ok well I can't find that picture, but I managed to roughly draw it in paintbrush, but don't know how to put a file here.....if anyone wants it can you send me a pm. I really helped me thru neuro because the place each nerve controls is identified by the number.......and it looks like a face! lol
Hemorrhagic disease of the newborn is caused by an inadequate supply of prothrombin received from the mother or a delay in the establishment of the bacterial intestinal flora that produces vitamin K. The condition results from a deficiency of the vitamin K dependent coagulation factors II, VII, IX ,and X. It is typically seen 48-72 hours after birth. This disorder can manifest as melena, umbilical bleeding, and hematuria on the 2 or 3 day of life. Parenteral vitamin K given to the baby within 6 hours of birth prevents this from happening. In the case of severe hemorrhage, fresh plasma will replenish the deficient coagulation factors and stop the bleeding.
