Tricks to remember things

[Holly27]

I thought it would be neat to help out students and others with things we each do to remember things. Like this:

H E P A R I N (7 letters) + 3 (PTT) = 10 fingers

C O U M A D I N (8 letters) + 2 (PT) = 10 fingers

or maybe

"C"at or "K"at- "C"oumadin antidote is Vit "K"

or things to remember the cranial nerves or what meds do what.

Lopressor- Lower pressure

Aurothioglucose(gold-50)- "Golden oldies" - Antiarthritic

Antabuse- I "abuse" alcohol- Alcohol deterrant

Ear Drops- Ad"u"lt is "U"p and back so infant is opposite Down and back

I have lots more but just have to find them. These and others helped out alot in nursing school and since I've started work. So please add yours! I know that some might only make sense to you. but please post them anyways. You never know, they might make sense to someone else!:roll
