"Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?
Thankk you so much.I often feel the same way after studying for 3 to 5 hours sometimes a day. Leaving my young family and working more thank 40 hrs a wk just to stay about the water only to pass my first summester with a c after all the hard and neglecting my family. This can be very disappointing and makes you feel not capable. I have been a cna for 10 years and I am excellent in my work.I always answer questions in my classes but still end with a c. Than you so much for what you post its given me a push to the next summester.

am i on the right track (2) Mr. Jasper and Mr. Stern are client’s experiencing back pain. Mr. Jasper’s pain resulted from a fall from a ladder 48 hours ago. Mr. Stern’s pain has been bothering him for more than 8 months with no known cause. a.As the nurse caring for both clients, how might you anticipate differences in assessment and treatment? Mr. Jaspers pain is recent so I’ll give him pain medication, monitor his labs, blood work, Asses his breathing patterns making sure they did not change from bad to worse, be very careful not to cause any more pain for Mr. Jasper due to his recent fall, check with the doctor to see if there is any special precaution I should take with this Pt. As for MR. Stern I would also check lab, possible do ex-ray, ask him when the pain started what activity he was doing could this be deferred pain. b. What might influence your approach to assessment if Mr. Stern were 39 versus 80 years of age? Mr. Stern could have an infection or possible passing kidneys stones. Maybe his spine is not aliened correctly. It could be deferred pain related to his prostate. He could have picked up something heavy not realizing that he is doing so and not practicing proper body mechanics. (2) Mr. Jasper and Mr. Stern are client’s experiencing back pain.

She has right-sided weakness, and she cannot turn or walk without using her walker and the assistance of another person. She also has difficulty swallowing and has bowel and bladder incontinence. a.What risk factors, if any, for pressure ulcers does this patient have? This Pt. is at risk for developing Bed sores because she is unable to turn or walk without assistive devices and assistance for others. b.What characteristics/factors should the nurse assess to monitor for a Stage I pressure ulcer? The nurse should put the PT. is on a turning schedule Q 2 hrs. and check each time to make sure there is no break in the Pt. skin.
