I'm going to the PACU tomorrow for clinicals. I have to write a paper about nursing resposibilities and the student nurses responsibilities in the PACU. I found all the information on the nurses responsibilities, but I'm not clear as to what emy responsibilities will be tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of vitals, pulse ox, and assessment. I am in the 2nd semester so I am allowed to administer medications, as long as it is not direct IV. Could someone give me some guidance as to what my responsibilities will be tomorrow? Thanks!

Thank you so much! It's the end of the semester and I'm just now really starting to see how a lot of the medical diagnoses are intertwined and related along with risk factors, etc. It really is interesting...and sad.

Well, either way. Cheating isn't going to pay off once they get to the NCLEX. It'll bite them in the $%# eventually.

So his cerebrovascular disease is probably the reason he has had multiple microcerebral infarcts. I'm trying to research cerebrovascular disease and I can't find a good resource. Every website I go to lumps cerebrovascular disease and CVA into one thing.

Hey all. This is my first time posting on this site. I am currently a first semester nursing student. I'm needing help with my clinical paperwork. My last clinical for this semester is tomorrow. Yay! We have a sheet we have to fill out about medical diagnosis information. We have to have a primary and secondary medical diagnosis and fill out the pathophysiology for each. I wanted to use "late effects of cerebrovascular disease" for my primary diagnosis and dementia for my secondary diagnosis. He has many other medical diagnosis, but these seem to me to be what is most affecting him at this time. However, i'm trying to research, "late effects of cerebrovascular disease" and it seems that this is the same as late affects for cva. Are these the same things? Also, how am I supposed to fill out the pathophysiology, usual diagnostic tests, usual treatment, and prognosis on this. Would it just be better to use CVA as my primary diagnosis?
