Strategy Reminders: ● Never delegate assessments, teachings, or evaluation ● Always check for airway, breathing, circulation (ABCs) ● Use Maslow when prioritizing (physiological needs first) ○ Physiological → Safety → Love/Belonging → Esteem → Self-Actualization ● Watch for infections, falls, and safety issues Drug Alerts: ● Digoxin: Hold if HR <60, toxicity = visual changes, bradycardia ● Furosemide: Watch K+, dehydration ● Warfarin: PT/INR monitoring, antido...

Hemoglobin (Hgb) Male: 14-18 g/dL | Female: 12-16 g/dL | Pregnant: >11 g/dL Low = anemia | Transfuse if critically low Hematocrit (Hct) Male: 42-52% | Female: 37-47% | Pregnant: >33% Hct ≈ 3× Hgb value WBC 5,000-10,000 mm³ High = infection | Low = immunosuppression Platelets 150,000-400,000 mm³ Low <150K = bleeding risk Sodium (Na+) 135-145 mEq/L <135 = hyponatremia | >145 = hypernatremia Potassium (K+) 3.5-5.0 mEq/L <3.5 = hypokalemia | >5.0 = hyperkalemia Calc...

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE: Blue boxes = patient teaching (EXAM FAVORITE). Orange boxes = drug alerts/adverse effects. Red boxes = nursing safety emergencies. ALL lab values are GALEN values. ■ GALEN LAB VALUES — USE THESE ONLY (From Your School's Standardized Reference) ELECTROLYTES Normal (Galen) Low = ? High = ? Sodium (Na+) 135–145 mEq/L Hyponatremia → confusion, seizures Hypernatremia → agitation, thirst, brain shrinks Potassium (K+) 3.5–5.0 mEq/L Hypokalemia → ST depressi...

Imagine I am sitting next to you explaining everything like you are 5 years old. Every big scary nursing word gets broken down into something simple and fun. Every time you see ■ = there is a MEMORY TRICK to help you remember! Every time you see ■ = this is a DANGER thing — an emergency or a never-do. ■ Blue boxes = what to TEACH the patient. ■ Green boxes = your GALEN lab values — use these ONLY on exams. ■ = the most tested thing in that section — do not skip it! ■ UNI...

Question 1 Correct Answer: B Daily weights on the same scale at the same time is the MOST RELIABLE indicator of fluid status — 1 kg of weight = approximately 1 liter of fluid. Skin turgor is LESS RELIABLE in older adults (option A). Thirst (C) and blood pressure changes (D) are late signs of dehydration. Question 2 Correct Answer: B BOX 13.3 lists the key features of fluid overload: bounding pulse, distended neck veins, moist crackles, and weight gain. Option A describes dehydration (...

RN Med-Surg Exam 2 Flashcards Card 1 — Hypercalcemia Patho: Too much calcium in the blood decreases neuromuscular excitability and can affect cardiac conduction. Clinical manifestations: Weakness, constipation, kidney stones, confusion, decreased reflexes. Priority assessment: LOC, cardiac rhythm, hydration status, kidney stone pain. Critical labs: Calcium >10.2 mg/dL. RN intervention: Encourage fluids if not contraindicated, administer loop diuretics/calcitonin as ordered, monitor...

1. A nurse is caring for a 78-year-old patient admitted with suspected dehydration. Which assessment finding is the MOST RELIABLE early indicator of fluid status change in this patient? A. Skin turgor returning slowly when pinched on the forearm B. A 3-pound weight loss compared to yesterday's documented weight on the same scale C. Complaints of thirst and dry mouth D. Blood pressure of 102/68 mmHg 2. A nurse is assessing a patient with fluid overload. Which combination of findings from...

Interstitial edema B. Vasogenic edema C. Intracellular edema D. Unilateral edema 2. Which of the following is the most sensitive and earliest clinical manifestation of increased intracranial pressure (ICP)? A. Cushing's Triad B. Change in level of consciousness (LOC) C. Headache D. ...

A patient with otosclerosis reports a gradual loss of hearing that started in one ear. The nurse understands that this condition is characterized by: A. Destruction and replacement of normal bone in the ossicles, especially the stapes. B. A buildup of fluid in the middle ear due to Eustachian tube dysfunction. C. Damage to the cochlear hair cells from long-term exposure to loud noises. D. A collection of skin tissue in the middle ear, known as a cholesteatoma. 2. A nurse is providing edu...

Abrupt disruption in pancreas to perform duties Pathophysiology • Serious and can be lifethreatening inflammation • Caused by premature activation of excessive pancreatic enzymes which then destroy tissue and cells

Shock Made Simple: IV Setup Analogy Instructor used the IV bag/tubing/pump analogy to “Todd-proof” shock types: Shock type IV analogy Real meaning Core intervention idea Hypovolemic IV bag is empty or low Not enough circulating intravascular volume Replace volume: fluids/blood; stop loss Cardiogenic Pump is bad Heart cannot pump effectively Fix/support pump: inotropes, cardiac meds, balloon pump, treat MI/dysrhythmia Obstructive Tubing to pump is clamped/kinked Blood flow is bl...

1. Big Picture: What Burns Do to the Body  Burns result from direct contact or exposure to thermal, chemical, electrical, or radiation sources.  Burn injury creates both local tissue destruction and systemic body-wide effects.  The major systemic issue is massive fluid shifting out of the vascular space into the interstitial space due to inflammation and capillary leak.  The burn patient can look swollen/edematous but still be intravascularly depleted, similar to distributive sh...

tion 1 0/0pts What is the difference between a nucleoside and nucleotide? Your Answer: Nucleosides consist of base, purine or pyrimidine, covalently bonded to either ribose or 2-deoxyribose. Nucleotides are built from a base, a monosaccharide (sugar), and phosphoric acid. Essentially, a nucleotide is a nucleoside with a phosphate group attached to it. A nucleoside is formed from the covalent bonding of a base, purine or pyrimidine, to either ribose or 2-deoxyribose. Nucleotides are built...

Question 1 0/0pts How is the definition of lipid different from protein and carbohydrate? Your Answer: olves in a non-polar solvent. Unlike proteins and carbohydrates, Alipid is an organic molecule that diss fine lipids. Instead, lipids share a characteristic there is no standard set of compounds that tidily de physical property of being nonpolar. The lipid definition is based on the functional definition of being soluble in a non-polar solvent. Proteins and carbohydrates are based on th...
