3. Somatization Vs. Conversion

10. care plan ? little objective data

    jennfinn replied to chicagrl's topic in Student Assist

    jennfinn replied to carlidawson's topic in General Nursing

    I am also being tested over electrolytes next week and this is what helps me: first think about what that electrolyte does for you - ex. when I think of calcium I think of conduction like for muscles and neurons, so when there is too much of it (hype...
