Fluids & Electrolytes: 3-Step NCLEX Framework
Learn a reliable 3-step system for tackling any fluids and electrolytes question on the NCLEX. This comprehensive review covers fluid assessment, critical electrolyte analysis (sodium and potassium), ABG interpretation using the ROAM mnemonic, and priority nursing actions. Includes the FRIED SALT and MURDER mnemonics, plus essential safety points about IV potassium administration and cardiac monitoring. Master the homeostasis seesaw concept and understand when to use isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions.
Clinical Math, Electrolytes & Therapeutic Diets
Comprehensive breakdown of challenging NCLEX content including dosage calculations (formula method vs dimensional analysis), therapeutic diet requirements, electrolyte imbalances with clinical mnemonics, and dehydration risk assessment. Features practical memory tricks, ECG interpretation for hyperkalemia, and curated study resources. Ideal for students struggling with clinical math and physiology concepts. Topics Covered: IV calculations, renal/cardiac/gluten-free diets, dysphagia management, MUST screening tool, potassium/calcium/magnesium/sodium imbalances, and recommended practice resources.
Therapeutic Diets for NCLEX: Renal, Diabetic, and Dysphagia Management
Comprehensive review of the three most frequently tested therapeutic diets on the NCLEX exam. Covers renal diet restrictions (protein, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, fluids), diabetic diet management using low glycemic index principles and carbohydrate counting, and dysphagia diet modifications for aspiration prevention. Includes case-based scenarios, NCLEX-style practice questions with rationales, and the 2-pillar framework for understanding all therapeutic diets (nutrient restriction vs. texture modification). Essential content for nursing students preparing for NCLEX-RN examination.
