  3. docusate sodium vs saline laxative

    combinate replied to combinate's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It seems like Docusate sodium and the citrates could both be hypertonic and work by osmosis.

  4. docusate sodium vs saline laxative

    combinate replied to combinate's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    "in the real world objective/subjective are less clear cut" I was trying to make the opposite case: Objective data is measured (quantitative); Subjective data is qualitative. It's more clear cut...

  10. drip volume always constant

    combinate posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    " An IV of 800 mL is to infuse over 8 hours at the rate of 20 gtt/min. After 4 hours and 45 minutes, only 300 mL had infused. Recalculate the flow rate in gtt/min. The set calibration is 15 gtt/mL. "...

  11. drip volume always constant

    combinate replied to combinate's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  15. A short PICC line ?

    combinate replied to combinate's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Thanks to all of you for the lessons. "Midline" sounds familiar now. I could be wrong, but I thought the nurse cut the catheter to target the subclavian vein. I will keep in mind that it might be a...

    combinate posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This course is offered at a JC near the nursing school where I will apply. I think they accept this to fulfill Chem prereqs for an accelerated BSN program. Does that sound right? I am trying to...
