My cousin had lidocaine spray which she uses for before waxing "down there". I asked a friend about this and she said it was "totally safe". I'm not convinced...

sorry the link didn't appear on my phone, i just saw your quote....Thank you

Have read that but I'm pretty sure he said he diluted it...maybe I heard wrong or is it possible that some hospitals dilute?

My patient was given hydrocortisone IV for her asthma I was asking a nurse how much they gave her, he was in a rush so he mumbled something....I believe he said 200mg , he said something about diluting it but i didn't catch it. How much would we normally dilute?

Got it! Another question...Dr ordered an x-ray for her, she has had asthma for 27 years (she is 57)...what is the reason for x-ray? Is it to rule out other problems?

Medication use....avoiding triggers...fluid intake...good rest and good nutrition? Those are on my list..I don't want to miss any important points, that's all

Thank you. :)

My asthma patient on Thursday came to the ER complaining of the usual asthma symptoms (SOB,fever,cough...) and she also said she vomited at home 3 times and when she got to the ER she vomited 2 more times. Why does the vomiting occur?

I didn't ask anyone to do my homework(this is not graded btw), I just asked the POINTS I should focus on. Thank you anyway :)

I have to educate my asthma patients, what are the points I should focus on?

I have to do a project about the pathophysiology and manifestations of altered level of consciousness. I want to do something different. Everyone did powerpoint and its soooo boring. Literally everyone in class is sleeping, including the teacher. I wanted to do something like a video (sketch?), maybe act it out? I don't know how we would act out the PP and manifestations. I want it to be fun and would like to add some humor but I can't think of anything for the life of me! Any ideas?

Thank you all!

hmmm I guess you're right. Do you remember how high their sugar levels were?

I think hypoglycemia... I read that the brain uses 25% of the body's glucose and if the patient was not able to get enough, they would slip into a coma. I've seen A lot of patients with high blood sugar levels but I've never seen a patient who is hypoglycemic (weird, right?)

Which one is scarier to see, hypoglycemic patient or hyperglycemic?
