I took this question directly from my NCLEX review book. I understand it to mean that this is this woman's very first pregnancy. But you are right I think they did use the wrong term. Para means # of pregnancies that have progressed past 20 weeks at ...

I had this very same situation last semester. I got assigned to the "instructor from hell" Everyone from previous semesters warned me, you do not want her! Ect, ect. She was supposed to be the worst in the whole program, failed lots, made people cry,...

#3 here too. :)

#1 Great job guys!! Rationale: Elderly clients are a high-risk group for depression. The classic symptoms of depression frequently are masked, and depression present differently in the aging population. Depression in late life is underdiagnosed becau...

Here's another: Depression in an older adult differs from depression in a younger person because 1. sadness of mood is usually present but it is masked by other symptoms. 2. impairment of cognition usually is not present. 3. psychosomatic tendencies ...

I will post the answer on this link later on today. Ergonovine maleate (Ergotrate) 200 ug IM has been ordered. The ampule label reads 0.2 mg/mL. How many milliliters should the nurse administer? 1. 0.2 mL 2. 0.5 mL 3. 1.0 mL 4. 2.0mL :)

The answer is #3. I am sorry I should of typed out micrograms, I typed it out the way it was in my NCLEX book. Well I tried to anyways. it is a funny looking u, which the keyboard doesn't have. And I thought it was important to see the different ways...

I took my final yesterday. Got a 91.58%! I am so looking forward to having a fun summer with my family. I clean out my office today, putting away all of my nursing school stuff, and tossing out my old notes. The only thing I left out is my NCLEX book...

I have to say #4 oliguria. Because when someone is moderately dehydrated their urine is darkand scant. Moist membranes is oposite of dehyration. Fontanells would be depressed if this was an infant dehydrated. Pale skin does not fit this scenerio. :...

You guys are good!! 2. Blunt chest trauman may lead to respiratory failure, and maintenance of adequate oxygenation is the priority for the client. Decreasing the client's anxiety is realted to maintaining effective respirations and oxygenation. Alth...

Here is another one to try! :) A 21-year-old male client is transported by ambulance to the emergency department after a serious automobile accident. He complains of severe pain in his right chest where he struck the steering wheel. What is the prim...

And I should really be studying right now! lol :rotfl: I am sitting at a 92% right now and if I can I would love to boost that up to an A. That would be a great finish to my third semester! Just one more to go, and I am soooo looking forward to a s...

You were right! The answer is #2. As the severe asthma attack worsens, the client becomes fatigued and alveolar hypoventilation develops. This leads to carbon dioxide retention and hypoxemia. The client develops respiratory acidosis. Therefore the ...

Hope you don't mind. I thought I would put one out there. This is a hectic time for everyone. And I think these are a great practice tool. The nurse would anticipate which of the following arterial blood gas results in a client experiencing a prolong...

I am going with #2. ABC's takes the priority. This child was face down, who knows what he/she may of inhaled. After I had suctioned all passages, I would then put in the IV line. :)

You'll feel a poke now. Hi my name is _____, I'll be your nurse today. Take a deep breath. Did you have a bowel movement today. Any pain or burning when you urinate. (Any type of positive theraputic communication technique) How does that make you fee...

1 and 4. But I choose 1. :uhoh21:

:)

You could where your stethscope around your neck. A group of Nursing grads did that at my brother's graduation and I thought that was a neat idea. :) Everyone knew who the nurses were. It also is a little more professional. Just a thought.

Hi everyone! I am working on my resume for nurse intern positions this summer. Ugh I hate this part. The worst is I had an awsome one done for written comm and lost it on my computer. (long story). SO I was wondering if any of you know of some real...

I also have Carpenito and have run into the same problems you have. A few instructors recommended Nursing Diagnosis Handbook by Betty Ackley. I love it, my Carpenito now is covered with dust. It is really nice because in the front you can look up wha...

Just a suggestion: If you inject heparin slowly it is less likely to bruise the patient. Think of it like an IV push, nice and slow. :)
