Study Notes
Exam Preparation
- Read all assigned chapters thoroughly to solidify understanding and enhance confidence.
- Complete Essential Skills tests for Weeks 3 & 4 to practice critical concepts.
- Watch ATI videos on vital signs, pain management, and medication administration for clinical insights.
- Review PowerPoints for Weeks 3 & 4 to reinforce learning and key topics.
- Begin studying at least a week and a half in advance to avoid last-minute cramming.
- The exam consists of 61 questions, totaling 100 points, with various formats including select all that apply, drop down, and multiple choice.
Pain Types
- Acute pain is typically short-term and results from injury or illness, while chronic pain persists for months or years beyond normal healing.
- Cancer pain can be acute or chronic, often requiring specialized management; neuropathic pain arises from nerve damage, leading to a different treatment approach.
- Phantom limb pain is classified as neuropathic pain, occurring in individuals who have lost a limb.
Pain Medication Education
- Educate on differences between opioid and non-opioid medications, including indications, side effects, and proper usage.
- Recognize signs of opioid toxicity, which may include respiratory depression, pinpoint pupils, and decreased consciousness.
Physiological Concepts
- Understand orthostatic hypotension, characterized by a significant drop in blood pressure upon standing, leading to dizziness or fainting.
- Familiarize with modes of heat transfer: radiation, convection, evaporation, and conduction.
Vital Signs
- Review normal ranges for vital signs, ensuring accuracy in clinical skills testing.
- Pay attention to unit conversions for medication calculations: mg to g, tsp to oz, liter to quart.
Alternative Therapies
- Study the alternative therapy chart, particularly Chapter 32, Page 719, Table 32.2, for complementary care options.
Pain Assessment
- Nociceptive pain is a signal indicating damage to body tissue, typically responsive to standard pain management interventions.
- Utilize the PQRSTU method for pain assessment, focusing on Provocation, Quality, Region, Severity, Timing, and Understanding.
Medication Safety
- Ensure safe medication administration protocols are understood, emphasizing patient safety and compliance.
- Recognize the use of nebulizers for respiratory therapy.
Injection Techniques
- Review techniques for subcutaneous injections as covered in PowerPoint presentations.
- Understand different insulin types: rapid-acting, short-acting, long-acting, and their characteristics regarding onset, peak, duration, and blood sugar management.
Administration Methods
- Distinguish between sublingual and buccal administration routes regarding their effects and absorption characteristics.
