Study Notes
Bone Disorders
- Types of fractures (matching) are included in the content.
- Osteoporosis, osteomyelitis, and gout are covered.
- Application-level questions focus on compartment syndrome, osteomyelitis, DVT, and rhabdomyolysis.
- A case study involves a post-operative ORIF patient with one-sided lower extremity pain and redness. Students must identify the complication, list 3 nursing interventions, and write a SBAR report to the provider.
Perioperative Care
- Patient education for pre-operative, post-operative (inpatient), and discharge instructions are covered.
- Topics include smoking cessation, concerning pre-operative signs and symptoms, when to start discharge teaching, prevention and management of post-op complications like pneumonia and DVTs, and medication use for pain management.
- The content also includes informed consent procedures.
Sleep
- Sleep apnea, signs, and symptoms, and treatments (CPAP and non-CPAP) are part of the material.
- Sleep deprivation and its signs/symptoms are also discussed.
- Sleep hygiene is included, along with factors that impede sleep.
- A bonus question involves heart rate changes in relation to age and fitness levels.
Nutrition
- Nursing considerations for patients on parenteral and enteral feedings are included.
- Patient safety concerns and the differences between PPN, TPN, and tube feeds are noted.
- Metabolic syndrome, relevant lab values, and diagnostic studies (like fasting glucose and vital signs) are involved.
- Labs linked to nutritional status and signs/symptoms of low albumin levels are assessed.
Skin
- Sunscreen guidance, recommendations, and how smoking impacts wound healing are detailed.
- The skin's role in general health and signs/symptoms of atopic dermatitis are included.
Fluid and Electrolytes
- The difference between hypo, hyper, and isotonic fluids is discussed.
- Types of IV fluids are included along with a reference to the electrolyte quick reference guide.
- Clinical manifestations and causes of hypo/hyper are covered, including treatment for hyperkalemia.
- Causes of fluid deficit and excess are included with a reference to the fluid imbalance study guide.
Renal
- Kidney function labs and expected lab findings in chronic kidney disease (CKD) are covered.
- Causes of acute kidney injury (AKI) types are covered.
- Clinical manifestations of each AKI phase and stages of CKD are included, along with causes of uric acid kidney stones.
- Medications for chronic kidney disease (outlined in PowerPoint), contraindications, med administration assessment data, and lab results and physical assessment are considered.

- Incontinence, differences between types, and treatment options/nursing considerations are assessed.
- Nursing interventions for incontinence are included.
GI
- Lower vs upper GI bleeds, assessment findings, and fluid volume deficit signs are covered.

- Medications/treatments and H2 blockers and PPIs (how they work) are included.
- A 10-point case study involving abdominal pain and the use of the ADPIE model is included. Students are asked to identify the suspected GI problem, the anticipated lab value increase, and predicted interventions or treatments.
General
- Diagnostic studies to determine pain cause are included.
- Interventions and anticipated complications if the condition goes untreated are also discussed.
