Lets share information and pass this test!!!

Hi all,

Im pretty new here, but was wondering if anyone would like to throw around facts, tips, pneumonics, etc to help us all pass our test. I take my test July 15th, and like everyone else, I could use all the help I can get:hug: Anyone is welcome, especially if you have taken the test before and have any input. I just think it could be very helpful learning from one another. You never know, we may learn something new, or be reminded of something we forgot I will start by putting down a few things myself.

-Except for any kind of tube or drain, the general rule of thumb is to check the pt first and then the equipment.

-You want manic pts to do activities with others

-t-PA is contraindicated in situations where there was trauma. CPR can be considered trauma

-First clinical manifestation of dig toxicity is GI upset

-Under the age of 12 give Tylenol

-"why" answers on NCLEX are usually considered wrong because they are considered confrontational

There ya have it guys! Cant wait to see everyone else's input. I will also add some more later as the thread goes on. Now back to the books!!
