    unsaint77 replied to unsaint77's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I combed through the web source netglow had suggested, and nowhere does it explain my question. For those of you who has nothing better to do than leaving sarcastic comments, this site is not only...

  4. Does rtpa cause hypertension?

    unsaint77 replied to unsaint77's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I appreciate both Altra and netglow. I did look at my drug book and searched on internet. Trust me I would not wait for forum replies before I search the internet and drug book. My drug book lists...

    unsaint77 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I thought IO was accessing bone marrow. which bone's marrow is this going into? Sternum? Also, I know that in the battlefield, I guess aseptic is not the most crucial thing but isn't this way too...

  10. nursing school question: spinal cord injury; sacral vs higher lesion

    unsaint77 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    From what I found, in the injury at or above T12, pt will have some bladder control, although spasmic, and some can even learn to bear down to urinate, whereas the injury in the sacrum will cause...

  16. help me clarify DKA, hyper and hypoglycemia

    unsaint77 replied to unsaint77's topic in General Nursing

    so what you are saying what psu_213 is saying- with hypoglycemia, DKA is not a concern because the person will die from hypoglycemia before the DKA happens. Is that

  17. help me clarify DKA, hyper and hypoglycemia

    unsaint77 posted a topic in General Nursing

    when cells don't get glucose d/t no insulin, our body burns fat. I know that. For some reason I linked hyperglycemia and DKA together before. But, cells not getting glucose has nothing to do with...

    unsaint77 replied to unsaint77's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I will try getting into a hospital first. The job market in my area doesn't look very promising, but I will still try anything.

  22. help me clarify DKA, hyper and hypoglycemia

    unsaint77 replied to unsaint77's topic in General Nursing

    Mrmedical, thank you for your input. However, that is the way I thought before- "DKA is a state where the blood sugar becomes too high (hyper)." But here is what made me wonder about that logic......

    unsaint77 replied to unsaint77's topic in General Nursing

    Great! I am a student and I was studying PIE charting , and it had signs of DKA as the P (problem), and I&O monitoring as one of the I (intervention). I didn't quite link the polyuria with...
