Huh? I'm sure it's in the study guide -- something about skin surfaces in contact with the oxygen delivery system. I think it also says to record that information. I'll see if I can find the page ...

Mkay, I found it ... page IV.G.3.a -- Oxygen Management.

The cowbell thing absolutely slays me every time! I told BBFRN that I drew a cowbell on my grid during my last PCS to make myself stay happy. LOL

I don't doubt that it's in THE study guide. It was NOT in their allegedly complete workshop guide.

Aha, I gotcha. You'd think for $755 it would be complete, right?!

Great mnemonic!

Lunah, that's entirely the point. I take a workshop that includes a checklist of every skill and pages on each and nowhere was that mentioned.

Pixxes me right off.

Sue that's too bad! I got this mnemonic from Rob. I went through about 4 different people's memonics and pulled out ones that related to the area of care. I liked most of Robs mnemonics the best because he related them to something. The SOAP mnemonic is related to "soapy tires" If there is a leak in the tire the air(oxygen) will bubble up on the tire. Sounds Stupid but I remember it!

Good Luck to you Sue!
