🫀The cardiac cycle 🔄
Here’s a simple visual explanation of what the PQRST on an EKG represents In nursing school having a strong foundation of the conduction cycle and blood flow through the heart is vital to helping you have a deeper understanding of the associated conditions of the heart. ⭐️Key things to remember ☞DEpolarization= contracting ☞REpolarization= relaxing P wave= atrial DEpolarization- contracting atria PR Interval= time from P wave to start of QRS (AV node creates delay to allow atria to empty into ventricles) QRS= ventricular DEpolarization- bundle of his carries impulses to contract ventricles T wave= ventricular REpolarization- ventricles relaxing preparing for next cycle I hope you found this helpful! Share with your nursing school friends 💛
PERIPHERAL vs. CENTRAL LINES
In nursing, either as a student or a new grad nurse, it’s important to understand the difference between peripheral and central lines: ⭐️Peripheral lines →thin flexible tube inerted into a peripheral vein →referred to by gauge size (lower number=bigger diameter) →a MIDLINE is a longer peripheral line usually inserted for patients that are hard sticks, and must be inserted by a PICC nurse ⭐️Central lines →catheter inserted into large vein that ends in the superior vena cava →there are multiple typrs of central lines, difference is how they’re inserted →Indication could include medication, volume needs, or prolonged access → important to watch for CAUTI’s by implementing proper care per facility protocols (CHG, sterile dressing changes, D/Cing when medically able, etc.)
CNS Review: Brain Lobe Functions
FRONTAL LOBE ☞ Motor Control ☞ Problem Solving ☞ Expressive Speech (Broca’s area) PARIETAL LOBE ☞ Sensation ☞ Spatial and visual perception TEMPORAL LOBE ☞ Auditory processing ☞ Memory retrieval ☞ Language comprehension (Wernike’s area) OCCIPITAL LOBE ☞ Sight ☞ Visual perception and interpretation Cerebellum= balance Brain stem= core functioning (RR, HR, BP)

🔥DRAW UP MEDS W/O BUBBLES FOR NURSES
👉An air bubble in IV tubing or a syringe can result in an air embolism (clot). This is rare in practice but can be potentially fatal. ❌ Method to Remove Air Bubbles: 1️⃣ Pull back amount of air in syringe as med • 2️⃣ Inject air into the med vial • 3️⃣ Keeping holding syringe down while turning vial upside down • 4️⃣ Release syringe: watch the pressure pull the med into the vial 5️⃣ Expel extra air on top 👉If there are still air bubbles present, just flick or tap the syringe. Remember to master any nursing skill, it takes practice and time. We all started somewhere. :) Thanks for watching! ❤️ ⭐️ Need help with Medication Dosage?
