Do you think he should stop taking naproxen? should that be an education point? Im a student too and im asking for my own understanding.

I think your right, with CHF exacerbation you get a back up of fluid systemically, that is why he has gained 50lbs and he is drowning in his own sputum. He is compromised in both organ systems dude to fluid overload and pump failure. Many times if ...

Monitoring I&O will not be a good indication to his breathing pattern or his heart rhythm. Why do you think that is? What interventions can we use to make him breath more effectively? How can we help his heart pump more effectively? How can we...

From what I know both programs of top notch for their area. I would go with what ever is closer to you.

Hello all my nursing friends out there! I am a young man about to embark on the journey of nursing school. I am currently on my way to financial independence and early retirement 7 years from now (if everything goes to plan). I cant wait to be a n...

Do you have any advice or tips you can give me?

That's really great to hear! I get very inspired by these kinds of stories! Do you have any advice you can give me? I think I have a pretty solid plan but I am always on the hunt for more knowledge and new ideas!

Im sorry to hear that! How many points did you have?

I'm a student so I'll just give you my thoughts. With a fractures of long bones you will have bleeding because bones are vascular, this can lead to shock if it is extensive enough. You can also have the possibility of a fat embolism at some point, i...

I am not sure if they finished choosing everyone, I didn't ask. I did ask about the paper work session and when all of our stuff will be due. Its going to be kind of crazy because our paper work session is going to be on or around December 16th and ...

Thanks I think we all got this! I'm super stoked, I've been studying fundies, patho and pharm like crazy for the past month so can't wait to implement my knowledge.

I can't wait either! I Talked with them today and they plan on sending out letters by the end of the week or starting next week from what I understand.

Hi good luck on your speech! I think if i had to have 3 topics I would choose the following: 1. An introduction to what anesthesia is. 2. Physiologic changes of the body while under general anesthesia and drugs used. example: hypotension, CNS depres...

I think you did a really great job with your dx. Some thoughts I had that might be high priority were fluid volume deficit and risk for infection, also you mentioned a dx of metabolic alkalosis but I think it should be acidosis. PH 7.28 hco3 was8 ...

I totally agree. Sometimes when you have a bunch of numbers but you don't know why or where exactly to plug all the numbers into an equation things can get confusing. Sometimes knowing how to break something down can help some people work through a ...

The explanation provided was not making sense to the OP. Sometimes it takes someone giving a rational for a concept to sink in. OP has 8 more to do and I'm sure will have plenty after that.

OK. I'm a student but I will give it me best explanation. So 130ml/90 minutes. So 90 minutes =1.5hr. We can break up 90 minutes into 30 30 30. If we divide 130/3= 43. So that means the pump is going to run at 43ml/30 minutes. So let's just double...

I am going to be entering a program soon. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can and keep the thead going. Sometimes threads go unnoticed and i didn't want this one to go with out a good conversation. I did look up loxenox and I totally had a bi...

There is still a risk for bleeding though yeah?

OOPS!

Tylenol and Enoxaprin are both NSAIDS and with the warfarin and morphine she is high risk for bleeding. 3. A post -op assessment 6 hours later finds Mrs West awake but confused. She does not know where or who she is. a) List 2 possible reasons wh...

A PCA or PCT or UAP or CNA they are all the same and the position doesn't necessarily require any cert what so ever. You are working under the nurses license. If you have your EMT you can totally get a job as a hospital staff in one of these posit...

Ok so you need to read what you typed there. You just said you have done 10 injections and that should be enough, then you said you have difficulty with fine motor skill. If you have trouble in a certain area you may need MORE PRACTICE. This mean ...

Having confidence in your knowledge and skills is important. How often are you going to skills lab? How many times ave you practiced giving subq injections?

This is top notch advice! Also study while standing! studies show that you are more creative and process information differently when standing. There is a reason Steve Jobs had walking board meetings.
