  1. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

    NUNS2016 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

  2. Risk for Falls expected outcomes

    NUNS2016 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

  3. Risk for Falls expected outcomes

    NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

  5. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

    NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  7. Adrenergic VS Cholinergic

    NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

    NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

    NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    NUNS2016 replied to NUNS2016's topic in General Students
