Pt had a-line and AICD suddenly his abp mean dropped to 22, waveform became flat. However, HR on the monitor was 112, showing v tach on the monitor is the pt pulseless ? CPR first or shock? any additional assessment needed in this situation? Is AICD ...

Can the monitor show " PULSELESS" v tach? I saw v tach on the monitor when this happened to me, but I did not see pulseless. How to tell? By just looking at the flattened a line?

Is it allowed to share some details such as increased PTT, decrease creatinine with the family? if the family is a ACNP herself, worrying her mother to death, what would you do? Especially, after her mother being treated badly and now the pt is getti...

I never thought about that. Thank you very much for telling me that, canchaser. I really appreciate it.

thank you, meandragonbrett. those are good questions. But I am not quite sure the difference between the afib on a CV surgery pt and the afib on a non-CV surgery pt? and why I need to ask myself, 'what is he in the hospital/unit?' Thank you again for...

I appreciate your input, Mully. I asked the charge nurse whether I needed to call and what to say. He said I needed to call the doc at the end of the shift (0700), and let him know what happened. As a new nurse on the floor, even though I was not su...

If I were you, I would compare the ISBN number rather than pages.

Actually there are three questions. 1. Does a nurse administer room temperature insulin only? 2. Is it because that regular insulin is clear so that it can be administered IV? 3. The reason why lipidatrophy occurs is because of cold insulin or becaus...

Hi, I have a question. Is it ok to dance with a psychiatric client? It seems no one wants to do that. If dance with a psychiatric client, is it professional? For safety, I know we need to keep at least one arm distance away from the clients. Howeve...

How do you handle stressful periods like the nursing school? Right now I have four courses including peds, OB, psych, and ethnics. I have to admit I am not good at handling stressful periods like four courses one semester. We will have a test next w...

a client has D5 1/2 NaCl 1,000 ml to run 12 hr. the drip factor on the delivery tubing is 15 gtts/min. the nurse should adjust the IV at? a. 12 gtts/min b. 21 gtts/min c. 25 gtts/min d. 34 gtts/min Thanks!

This was what I thought when I did the question, but it asks 15 gtts/MIN. The question is from QtrainerI.

There are 15 gtts/MIN rather than 15 gtts/ML according to the question.

1000ml * 15 gtts/min = 15,000 not 1500; In addition, 15 gtts/min cannot multiply 1000 ml unless it would be 15 gtts/ml.

The tree has not failed you :-) a and b are all assessments to collect more data, I think. In this case, we need to find what kind of data is approriate to deal with the client's need. The client's need is to stop decreasing the body weight by incr...
