THE EVER POPULAR LAST MINUTE TIPS FOR
NURSING LICENSURE EXAMINATIONS
In NP1, Please FOCUS on the following:
1. Types of leadership: Autocratic, Laissez faire, Democratic, transformational,
transactional etc. etc.
2. Pattern of Nursing care: Primary nursing, case nursing, functional, team etc.
3. Expanded Nursing role: Nurse anesthetist, Nurse practitioner, Nurse researcher etc.
etc.
4. Levels of prevention by Leavell and Clark. Remember that crisis is always
secondary.
5. 3 way bottle system: simply reconnect the tube, continuous bubble is a sign of
leakage, no bubbling is
obstruction [in the waterseal] and you should palpate the surrounding area for
subcutaneous emphysema
6. Care of clients with tracheostomy and suctioning a tracheostomy tube [sterile
technique] know the functions of the cuff, obturator and the tie. care of clients with
pooling of secretions. Postural drainage: do this before meals, the positioning
depending on the location of secretion, POPEVICO [arrangement] that is positioning,
percussing, vibrating and coughing etc. study suctioning.
7. The independent and the dependent variable in research
8. Know your PURE and APPLIED as well as EXPERIMENTAL and
NON-EXPERIMENTAL also your QUANTITATIVE and QUALITATIVE designs
9. IV fluid tonicity: D5LR is hypertonic while LR is isotonic
10. Complication of IV and its intervention such as FLUID OVERLOAD,
PHLEBITIS, INFILTRATION.
11. Blood transfusion
12. Complication of immobility: DECUBITUS ULCER, HYPO PNEUMONIA,
ATELECTASIS, DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS
13. The VIRTUE ETHICS and ETHICS: Justice, fortitude, prudence, temperance,
character, double effect,
paternalism... etc etc and the Patient's bill of right.
15. Teaching and learning steps: Man initially needs information and MOTIVATION
is needed for adherence to teaching. First step in teaching is to ASSESS LEARNING
,| 3
NEEDS before planning what to teach.
16. SAFETY: Causes of injuries according to age eg: elderly = falls, infant =
suffocation and aspiration, adolescence = suicide and homicide. Intervention in an
elderly client who falls frequently = keep the bed at the lowest possible position. etc.
18. BON RESOLUTION 220 [CODE OF ETHICS] RA 9173 AND 7164 [COMPARE
AND CONTRAST] and the CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION. [To
enhance knowledge with regard to specific field of interest]
NP2
1. Stages of labor. The first stage up to the fourth stage and the LATENT ACTIVE
AND TRANSITION of the first stage. study the intervention in all stages. Read
pilleteri for this.
2. The menstrual cycle, what glands secret what hormones. The MENSTRUAL,
PROLIFERATIVE, SECRETORY and ISCHEMIC phase. what hormone is at peak
during what stage. etc. etc.
3. Causes of bleeding during pregnancy: Ectopic, abruptio and previa plus their
nursing intervention.
4. Endometriosis and Endometritis.
5. IMCI : Pneumonia, Diarrhea and Dengue especially the breathing cut off [Eg. 60
for under 2 months],
Acute/Chronic cutoff [Acute diarrhea and ear infection under 14 days]. The
interventions for CHILD A, B and C.
6. COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING PROCESS: Assessment, Planning,
Implementation and Evaluation. refer to the DOH book please read this one.
7. Managerial principles. PODC. Types of budgets. Direct, indirect, cash, capital,
operational budgets.
8. Read pilleteri for : Characteristic of a toddler and preschool [ eg : asking too many
questions, negativistic for toddler. Preschool = associative, imaginary, see the world
on his own point of view, superego development etc.]
9. POISONING: Lead, aspirin, etc. etc. this is the common cause of accident among
toddlers.
10. Leukemia, Anemia and Sickle cell anemia, chemotherapy for pediatric clients.
11. NEWBORN SCREENING
12. Amniocentesis = VOID, Ultrasonography = DRINK, Leopolds Maneuver = VOID,
Paracentesis = VOID
13. Changes during pregnancy [eg: Leukorrhea, braxton hicks, anemia] and what
, | 4
changes occurs early or late. Refer to Pillitteri
14. Pregnancy and nutrition: Balanced diet + 300 cal for pregnant. +500 cal for
breastfeeding
15. PIH and MAGNESIUM SULFATE. [cns down, rr down, u/o down ] priority : RR
NP3 AND NP4
1. Burns, Classification of Burns and Nursing Diagnosis for Burns, Drug use in burns
[Silver Sulfadiazine],
Electrolyte changes in burn [Hyperkalemia, Hyponatermia]. The WHO Pain ladder
scale, Pain medications especially Demerol, Morphine and Fentanyl. Remember that
PAIN is the hardest part for the nurse in caring for a burned victim. Burn wounds heal
by secondary intention.
2. Nursing diagnosis after anesthesia : RISK FOR INFECTION or INEFFECTIVE
AIR CLEARANCE.
3. PACU MONITORING = Q15 , SURGICAL FLOOR MONITORING = Q30
4. Pancreatitis, Cholecystitis, Hepatitis. Morphine causes spasms in the sphincter of
oddi. Hepa B is caused by blood exchange. Hepa A is oro-fecal. both have vaccines
either passive or active but if already exposed, Give PASSIVE.
5. Diabetes mellitus, Metformin and contrast medium [stop metformin due to renal
toxicity], Insulin rotation and administration, diabetes r/t footcare. Avoid wearing
canvass shoes, check for the sensation, do not go outside without slippers.
PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY. OHA drugs.
6. Electrolytes abnormality especially HYPOCALCEMIA and
HYPER/HYPOKALEMIA. The ECG changes in potassium alteration, intervention
and causes.
7. Myocardial infarction : ECG changes as well as nursing intervention. Causes and
risk factors. Refer to BRUNNER.
8. Pharmacologic and Nonpharmacologic pain relief : Guided imagery, Biofeedback,
Intrathecal [into the spinal canal directly to mix with csf] and epidural [ into the
epidural space ] pain management. side effects of morphine in elderly = PRURITUS
and ALLERGIC RXN and RR DEPRESSION. Reason for intrathecal admininstration
= prevent Blood brain barrier.
9. BREAST and CERVICAL cancer. Assessment, Diagnosis and Treatment.
10. Management for a client with COLOSTOMY. The irrigation, diet and body image
alteration as well as perioperative management of a client undergoing your
ABDOMINAL PERINEAL RESECTION with permanent colostomy. Drugs given
before APR such as neomycin and sulfasuzidine, Diet before APR [low fiber], normal
color of the stoma just after APR [slightly bleeding, red and protruding]
