Answer: Immediate intervention to be started for a client presenting with
stroke symptoms, preparing for inclusion criteria review for IV fibrinolytic
therapy.
◍ Renal calculi.
Answer: A condition where a client reports severe flank pain, nausea, and
vomiting, requiring prioritization of aspiration prevention.
◍ Stroke prevention: meds for dyslipidemia therapy.
Answer: Statins
◍ COPD Oxygen therapy.
Answer: Target SpO₂ 88-92% for hypoxia.
◍ Asthma.
Answer: Chronic inflammatory disorder of the airway Marked by hyper
responsiveness to stimuli, bronchiole inflammation, bronchoconstriction,
and mucus production Leads to recurrent episodes of airway
obstructionSeverity based on clinical representation before treatment Status
asthmaticus: severe life threatening episode refractory to treatment
◍ What is a stroke.
Answer: Disruption of blood flow to the brain.
◍ Exam Structure.
, Answer: Includes complex case studies with multiple steps (e.g., bowtie
questions, select-all-that-apply).
◍ Eczema Treatment.
Answer: Therapeutic Response: Reduced dryness and itching, improved skin
integrity.
◍ COPD education.
Answer: Rest periods with activity Avoid hot or cold foods, and spicy, and
gas producing foods Avoid crowds Avoid extreme temps Avoid fireplaces,
pets, feather pillows and other allergens Avoid powerful odors Stop
smoking Recognizing symptoms for infection and hypoxia Using pursed lip
breathing and diaphragmatic or abdominal breathing
◍ Transient ischemic attack manifestations.
Answer: Transient short lived symptomsSame symptoms as an ischemic
stroke Weakness or numbness
◍ Acute myocardial infarction (MI).
Answer: A condition recognized by chest pain radiating to the left arm with
diaphoresis.
◍ What's in the lower respiratory tract.
Answer: Trachea Primary bronchi Lungs

Answer: High-protein, high-calorie small meals to maintain energy levels.
◍ Levothyroxine Symptoms.
Answer: Question Scenario: A client on levothyroxine for a goiter exhibits
symptoms like palpitations and shortness of breath. Key Focus: Recognize
symptoms of excessive thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism). Correct Action:
Notify the healthcare provider immediately to adjust the dose.

Answer: Signs: Moon face, buffalo hump, hyperglycemia, hypertension.
Interventions: Monitor electrolytes, reduce corticosteroid use if applicable.
◍ What can you use to assess AKI.
Answer: Ultrasound Non contrast abdominal CTcardiac monitoring or EKG
due to risk of electrolyte imbalances (especially K)
◍ Glomerulonephritis Diet Recommendations.
Answer: Low-sodium, low-protein diet.
◍ Medical conversions.
Answer: Review of conversions such as mL to L and pounds to kilograms.
◍ RegisteredNurseRN.
Answer: Resource providing detailed video explanations for major
conditions.
◍ Diagnostic testing for a stroke.
Answer: CT WITHOUT CONTRAST ASAPEEGCerebral arteriography
MRI
◍ Manifestations of a stroke on the right side of the brain.
Answer: Paralyzed left side (hemiplegia) Left sided neglect
Spatial-perceptual deficits Denys problems Rapid performance, short
attention span Impulsive, safety issues Impaired judgement Impaired
concept of time
◍ Lab values associated with AKI assessment.
Answer: Urine studies BUNcreatinine GFRelectrolytes- calcium,
phosphorus, potassium ABGs may show metabolic acidosis
◍ Heart Attack vs. Chest Pain.
Answer: Differentiate myocardial infarction (MI) from angina (e.g.,
persistent pain, diaphoresis, elevated troponin for MI).
◍ UTI.
Answer: Classified by location of infection - upper or lower urinary
