what do u do while on the floor? do u search up the disorder? and what tool do u use to know what nursing interventions and assessments to look out for

Hi guys i would like to know for anybody who is a new grade nurse or who has experience, have you ever been assigned to a patient with a condition or disease process that you did not go over in school? we are thought a lot but cannot be thought everything and certain diseases do not get tested on as much as others.

Hi guys, i am currently on break before going into my 4th and final semester of my nursing program at Miami dade college, we will take our exit exam and we need a 900 to pass, i bought the Hesi comprehensive nclex-rn examination, the 5th edition with the online portion that comes with 700 questions, although i am not sure when the hesi exit will be (October or december) i want to get started now while im on break, i just need help and advice with how much i should study, how many pages or chapters a day to be productive and also not overdo it so i can retain information. thank you!!

I would like to ask people who have already started working as a nurse, we learn alot in nursing school, but obviously we cant learn everything there or we would be in school forever. How much of what you know now is from working at the hospital? in terms of diseases you "know about" but did not cover in class, or any other situations where you were not taught in nursing school that you had to learn in the hospital. Also how do you bring up this conversation to your fellow experience nurses? that you just do not know how to deal with a certain illness

I currently attend a "community college" RN nursing program, i am not "struggling" my average for most test tends to be around 82-86 with a few higher grades in the 88-92. during my clinical hours there are many other major nursing programs such as the University of Miami among others that also experience their clinical in the same hospital (Jackson memorial hospital), and i just cannot shake the feeling that when i graduate nursing school i will be incompetent in comparison to the new grads in other major nursing programs in the sense that those students graduated from a harder program than i did.

X GTT=min * 60.5ml/20min * 10gtt/ml= 30 gtt/min

X GTT=min * 50ml/20min * 10gtt/ml= 25 gtt/min for the second part of the question

10.5 ml

ok so i will disregard the 3 doses, so i have to give 1 mg every 8 hours, the vial has 2 mg that was recocnsituted in 21 ml, does that mean i add around 11ml to the 50ml bag

ok so i will disregard the 3 doses, so i have to give 1 mg every 8 hours, the vial has 2 mg that was recocnsituted in 21 ml, does that mean i add around 11ml to the 50ml bag?

if you can help me with the actual problem i would appreciate it

drug order: cefoxitin 1 mg every 8 hours for 6 days. the available vile has 2 mg of powder, which you are to reconstitute in 20 ml of sterile water. the reconstituted volume is 21 ml. you are to administer this medication IVPB in 50 ml of D5W using 10 gtt/ml secondary line. how many ml of cefoxotin should be added to 50 ml secondary bag? what should the drop/min rate to be administer the medication within 20 minutes. for the first part of the question i am confused, since i give 1mg q8hrs as the order says, that means i give a total of 3 mg a day, but the vile that was reconstituted only has 2mg, please help

for the second portion of the problem is it, 17drops per minute as the answer? x gtt= minute * 50ml/30min * 10gtt/ml * = 17gtt/min

i need to administer 6mg the total mg in the vial is 20 mg i will use some of it

1.5 ml? because 2ml is 8mg so 1.5ml is 6mg?

i have to admister 6mg not 6ml

you are to give decadron 6mg, IV now. decadron comes in a 5cc vial with 4 mg/cc. the medication need to be administer in 50 cc of D5W IVPB using 10 gtt/ml secondary line. how many cc of decadron should you add to the secondary iv bag? what drop/min rate is needed to administer the medication in 30 minutes? this is a two part question and i need help with both please, i am not sure where to begin starting with the first half of the question.

i have two diagnosis that i am having trouble making a short term/ long term goal can i please get some help. #1. Risk for falls r/t elevated blood glucose level as evidenced by patient fainting and being found on the floor of their home with no recollection of the incidence. #2. Ineffective coping r/t death of spouse as evidenced by patient crying, appearing withdrawn, poor appetite, high blood pressure, and patient stating she would like to "be left alone". Here is the case study scenario: Mrs. D. is a 73-year-old recently widowed female with a history of CAD, MI- 5 years ago, NIDDM- 7 years, and fairly good health. She was brought into the ER by her daughter, who because she could not reach the patient by phone went to the patient's apartment and found the patient on the floor with no recollection of how she got there. The patient has been admitted with a diagnosis of syncope. Vitals signs: 148/94, 93- irregular, 24, 97.8 F, blood sugar 317. The physical assessment shows no signs of injury or bruises and the patient is able to move all extremities without any pain. At present Mrs. D. is quiet, answers questions appropriately with short replies, is withdrawn, states that she wants to "be left alone", and has been see crying. Her appetite is poor, color is pale, and she cannot remember the last time she had "a decent" meal and "could care less".

do i turn 2% into 2grams/100ml? please i have a test in 1 hour help

250 mL of a 2% solution contains __ grams of the drug? how do i solve this problem?

(question)1. An oral tablet has strength of 0.25 mg. The order is to give 0.125 mg. How many tablets will the nurse give? Do I do it like this? "X" tablet= 0.25 mg * 1tab/0.125 = 2 tabs? Or like this? "X" tablet =0.125 mg * 1tab/0.25mg= 0.5 tabs? (question)2. A client is ordered 150mg of aspirin. 300 mg aspirin tablets are available. How many tablets would you give? This question has similarities with question number 1, but where I get confused is where do I put my "X" under the strength? Or the order?

thank you so much!!!!!!

you would need 2.3ml of diluent and you would administer 0.5 ml to the patient

the 200mg/ml because 1ml is the max administration for an adult male subcutaneous. the first concentration is 0.5 ml which is below the range, the second concentration is too high because of the equation i just posted which equaled to 1.2ml which is already above the max concentration allowed subcutaneously
