Medical Terminology & Abbrevations Game :)

[Florence NightinFAIL]

Hi,

I thought it would be fun to play a little game and learn at the same time. I know there are alot of Student Nurses & Graduate Nurses so I hope ya'll participate.

So here are the rules: You have to either provide a definition to a term or give the correct name of the abbreviation (whichever the poster above you posts). Then when you answser (only if you know correctly)...then give a term or abbr. for the next person to solve (bolded if you can to make it stand out).

P.S. If there is more than one definition or name, give both.

P.S.S. Don't even think about googling it. The only resource you can use is your brain

Here is Mine:

Alopecia

Good luck & have fun!

And can you clarify these phrases:

"glow worms"

"terminal deceleration syndrome"

"pharmaceutically gifted"

[nghtfltguy, BSN, RN]

SIADH= syndrome of innapropriate anti-diuretic hormone

PAP= Pulmonary artery pressure

CO= cardiac output

SVR= stroke volume rate??

CVP= central venous pressure

TNTM

[nrsang97, BSN, RN]

SVR= Systemic Vascular Resistance

I've got one...:monkeydance:

[yadda_yadda_yadda, LPN, LVN]

Not sure if the elaborate 'lab' repsonse was in regards to my post...

AOSTF means 'arrived on scene to find.....'

It's one of my personal faves...great opening line for when you happen across someone on the floor...or in some inexplicable situation.:monkeydance:

[jobema3b]

ETOH - booze (ethanol/ethyl alcohol)

BID - twice per day

TID - three times/day

QID - four times/day

PO - per ora (by mouth)

NPO - non per ora

QHS - at bedtime

AC - before meals

PRN - as needed

EF (cardiac) - ejection fraction

FiO2 - something that's important for vent patients

LPM - laughs per minute (?)

BPM - beats per minute
