I'm a 3rd semester nursing student. I find that I sometimes don't know what a nurse needs to get an order for or can go ahead and do. Test Question-- Ex. Pt has TPN infusing in a single lumen port and Dr. orders Digoxin IVP. Do we start a peripher...

I'm in 3rd semester nursing and I'm having trouble determing what we need to get a physician order for or what a nurse can do on her own. I had test a Friday and this was 2 questions that I had missed. 1. Pt has TPN infusing single lumen port and D...

There is not a written protocal. I go to a local community college and we do clinical at all of the local hospitals. There are six hospitals that we go to. I just think in nursing school we should go by the standard orders and when we go to work s...

should I argue then with the question that I got wrong b/c I said I would need to call the Dr. instead of starting IV without one.

I am confused. If someone starts having an anaphlyatic reaction to an IVPB of like PCN what would you do 1st. Stop Pump, disconnect tubing, and flush the lowest port. But what do you do about med that is in tubing above lowest port. This was ...

I'm a nursing student (2nd semester). While studying tonight I have a question. When there is a D&C or D&E done how is the cervix dialted. I can't find anything in the book about it. I know in class we did talk about metal dialtor rods lik...

Thanks that made it a lot clearer for me.:)

How do you determine what station someone is at? I look at the pictures in book and understand what it is, but it does not say anywhere exactly how you tell this. I assume it must be through vag. exam??? We did not go over this Tuesday have not bee...

Thanks for your reply. But I have another question. When doing vag. exam how do you tell where ischial spines are located. i have been told you can feel them. Is is just one of those things you know and understand once you do it? Thanks in advanc...

Please help with these problems. They are on a review sheet that I don't have the key for. My test is tomarrow, any help greatly appreciated. 1. D5W 500 ml with 10,000 U Heparin. Infuse at 100 U/HR usina a microdrip set (60 gtt/ml). 2. The order...

thanks everyone for your help. These questions have not been like any other sample problems or anything we have even done in class (I'm going in 2nd week of 2nd semester). Last minute Friday they handed these out. I'm not sure any will even be on o...

I'm starting 2nd sem. in 2 weeks and we are suppose to have worked on our drug calculations module before we start school and I am having a hard time because there must be some formula's that I don't know about somewhere. For example how to convert ...

I don't really think I have a weak stomach. But diarrhea pooled in the bed made me gag. It was only the smell that bothered me. I was helping a fellow student and she saw the look on my face and said "go". If pt was able to understand what was go...

thank you for your help. I have listened to someone's heart in lab. We have a test Friday and they are using a CD. You don't here any backgroung noises or anything. She let us listen to it in class, but almost everyone in the whole class thought ...

Does anyone know of a website that I can listen to Erb's at. I have looked and have not found one. My instructor recomended one for us, but it only has Aortic, Pulmonic, Mitral, and Tricuspid. All we have to do is identify what we are hearing as S...

77.4 is failing for us. Test are a lot different than some of my classes. But if you have good A&P teachers that test on the same level as Nursing you will be OKay. That has been the case for me. So I haven't found it to be hard just a lot of ...

We took our 3 rd test today. 1st 92 2nd 100 3rd 96 I take notes as fast as I can in class. Go home and re-write them. Listen to tape to fill in or get something that I didn't understand. I do read the book, but sometimes I find that the instruct...

I took my second test today made an 98. First one made a 92. We just finished our 3rd week of school and this weekend will be the first chance that I will a relaxed day. The first 2 weeks were BRUTAL!!!!!!!!! Last week was better we just had a t...

You sound like me. Always stressing about test, but then end up doing fine. I bet you will be okay. You are a good student or you wouldn't have made good grades, and came from a good school or it wouldn't have such a high pass rate. Just relax (b...
