Lower Respiratory Disorders & Medications | NCLEX Priority Framework
This lesson covers high-yield respiratory pharmacology through the lens of NCLEX-style clinical prioritization. You'll learn how to apply the ABCs framework to respiratory emergencies, differentiate rescue medications (albuterol, ipratropium) from maintenance therapies (inhaled corticosteroids, LABAs, methylxanthines), and retain all major COPD drug categories using the "Chronic Pulmonary Medications Save Lungs" mnemonic. Key patient teaching points — including mouth rinsing after corticosteroid use and proper inhaler sequencing — are also addressed.
Master Acid-Base Balance: The ROAM Method
Learn to interpret arterial blood gases with confidence using the ROAM mnemonic (Respiratory Opposite, Metabolic Equal). This tutorial covers normal ABG values, how to identify respiratory vs metabolic imbalances, and understanding compensation levels. Includes a step-by-step walkthrough of an NCLEX-style practice question to help you master acid-base balance for exam success.
Tracheostomy Care: NCLEX Review & Emergency Management
Comprehensive review of tracheostomy care for NCLEX preparation. Covers suctioning techniques (15-second rule, pre-oxygenation), cuffed vs. cuffless tubes, aspiration prevention myths, emergency equipment requirements, accidental decannulation protocol (7-day rule), and speaking valves. Includes critical safety points and common NCLEX trap questions.
