- Recent exam performance received generally positive feedback.
Chapter 10: Electrolytes and Fluid Management
-
Electrolytes: Focus on sodium (Na) and potassium (K).
- Potassium: EKG changes, leg cramps, muscle weakness, paresthesia.
- Sodium: Neurological issues, altered mental status, seizures.
-
IV Fluids:
- Types: Isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic.
- Important considerations for usage, particularly in cases of cerebral edema.
-
Fluid Volume Deficit:
- Manifestations: Skin tinting, dry mucous membranes, hypotension, tachycardia.
- Treatment: Prioritize oral hydration, IV fluids if needed.
-
Fluid Volume Excess:
- Manifestations: Edema, pulmonary crackles, jugular venous distention (JVD), hypertension.
- Treatment: Diuretics.
Chapter 48: Glomerular Nephritis and Acute Renal Failure
-
Glomerular Nephritis: Typically post-strep.
- Clinical manifestations include proteinuria, edema, risk of renal failure.
-
Acute Renal Failure:
- Lab findings: Decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR), elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine.
Chapter 47: Urinary System
- Abnormal Urine: Analyze urine characteristics through patient scenarios.
- Aging Effects: Decreased GFR and impaired urine concentration.
Chapter 49: Renal Calculi and UTI
-
Renal Calculi:
- Symptoms include costovertebral angle tenderness, groin pain, hematuria.
-
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI):
- Symptoms include delirium, burning sensation, foul-smelling urine, urgency, hesitancy.

- COPD: Understand symptoms and special considerations for activities of daily living (ADLs).
Trachostomy and Asthma
- Trachostomy Care: Importance of suctioning and effective communication strategies.
- Asthma: Recognize symptoms and standard treatment with albuterol.
