1. Risk for Falls expected outcomes

   NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Student Assist

   How about, "Patient will not trip and fall over objects left in his path, or due to dim lighting, loose rugs, child gates, etc." Then for the intervention, I would have a home inspection done within 2 days of him returning home to educate him on safe...

2. Risk for Falls expected outcomes

   NUNS2016 posted a topic in Student Assist

   Hi all, I know I will remember all of this suddenly and feel silly, but for now, I am blanking. My patient's Dx (feel free to addendum!) so far is: Risk for falls R/T history of falls, age of 69 and impaired physical ability. I need 2 outcomes and 2 ...

3. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

   NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Student Assist

   Awesome awesome. Thank you. You hit the nail on the head with what was confusing me. And you explained it beautifully, and simply. I appreciate you taking the time to see where I was stuck, instead of just running the whole system down for me. I have...

4. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

   NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Student Assist

   This is some sort of joke! The books says epinephrine act on Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1 and Beta 2. But, then on the other page, it says that Alpha 1 increases BP and Alpha 2 decreases BP! Uuuuuuuuuugh.

5. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

   NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Student Assist

   So like this… PNS activated—>block PNS receptor sites (anticholinergic)—>deactivates PNS—>activate SNS Or you can… PNS activated—>send adrenergic neurotransmitters to adrenergic sites—>deactivates PNS—>activate SNS

6. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

   NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Student Assist

   I'm not sure I know what you mean. I guess I feel like...there are drugs that are called adrenergic agonists, therefore they "activate" the sympathetic NS, yes? Then how are there drugs that also deactivate the parasympathetic NS, and are anticholin...

7. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

   NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Student Assist

   OK, so despite what my brain wants me to believe, I think I understand it enough for now, as I study more, it will get better. However, what I'm having trouble with right now seems to be the fact that....some drugs are in one category, but do the sam...

8. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

   NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Student Assist

   And then, what the hell are catecholemines!?!?! My books says "catecholemines produce sympathomimetic responses" and that "noncatecholemines simulate adrenergic receptors"----WTH??!?! So now theres something else that does the same damn thing that I ...

9. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

   NUNS2016 posted a topic in Student Assist

   Ok...I've been spinning my brain in circles here...one minute I've got it, the next I'm so lost I could die. Let me see if I have this...at all...and if any or all of this is wrong, please feel free to correct or tweak anything!! So, within the Auto...

10. IVs and CVADS

    NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in General Students

    That was all incredibly helpful! Breaking out my comments like that really made it clear what you meant. And thanks for the tip about the name, I changed it right away. Thanks again!!

11. IVs and CVADS

    This was all incredibly helpful! Thank you again. And great advice about the name, I think I'll change it now

12. IVs and CVADS

    NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in General Students

    Speasa204, Thank you very much. This was simple, and laid out very plainly, step by step, I always like that. But the one I'm accustomed to for blood donation, or quick blood samples with the phlebotomist is a peripheral IV, yes? And when someone is ...

13. IVs and CVADS

    NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in General Students

    IVRUS, thats incredibly helpful. The way the book and class powerpoint were written didn't make it seem that the tunneled and others were types of CVA. They seemed like they were options for either the PICC, Central or Port. Thanks!!

15. IVs and CVADS

    NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I think I feel even more silly than when I posted this....There are two types, peripheral IV access, like in the AC, where you could do a saline lock, or run a midline cath thru and for short term, and type two is CVAD/CVC. And ALL of those go ...
