Published

I was having this discussion with a friend, but we later agree to to these. Hope this will benefit all nurses student still in school or awaiting to take NCLEX. Is more or less like a study :rckn:group. If you think you have any question you can thread and pple will respond with answer. Just thread in question with no answer to see what you have learn so far.

I'm going to reply to several off page 15 here:

Cranial nerves for the tongue are 5, 9, and 10, if my memory serves me correctly. Five for taste, 9 for all other sensations, and 10 hits the posterior 1/3, central for everything.

Most common problem of subclavian central line insertion is pneumothorax. The apex of the lung extends ~2 inches above the top border of the clavicle and if you aim too deep, you'll drop the lung.

(Side note: occasional problem with left SC lines is a chylothorax, where the left thoracic duct is punctured. If severe enough, it can necessitate a chest tube and TPN for months on end while the lymphatic duct heals. You can tell if you're aspirating milky white fluid from the line or see it in the JP drain.)

Lidocaine toxicity is hallmarked by confusion/altered LOC, RINGING IN THE EARS (big sign!) and CV instability.

Irreversible sign with ETOH withdrawals: Are you sure they're not talking about Wernicke's Encephalopahy? B-6 deficiency? The whole reason we give "banana bags?" But you're right, DT's are nothing to play with.

Question for y'all: Which benzodiazepene is the treatment of choice for DT's and why?

(Lorazepam, because it is metabolized by plasma cholinesterases, not cytochrome P450 enzymes from the liver, which are already auto-induced to a higher level by the chronic alcohol abuse. Both diazepam and midazolam are metabolized by that means, and they will chew straight through anything you give them, QUICK! Lorazepam is a much better option.)

This is a great review. Keep 'em coming - I take anesthesia boards in a year, but all these are bringing it back - and I need every bit of info to try and integrate for the right answer. :)

After any procedure priority = ABCs: airway, breathing, circulation. Once this is establish I would guess:

CMS: Circulation, Movement & Sensation in the lower part of the extremity.
