  1. 0:01All right. So, let's begin. This is the
  2. 0:04agenda for our 7-day training.
  3. 0:07Yesterday, we did our first day of the
  4. 0:10training and basically we focused on
  5. 0:14understanding the ENLEX world and we
  6. 0:17talked about pillars, pillars of success
  7. 0:21that will help you and aid you into
  8. 0:24passing the ENLEX. On day number two,
  9. 0:28we're going to talk about ENLEX
  10. 0:31category. So today, tomorrow, and day
  11. 0:36four, we're going to be talking about
  12. 0:39ENLEX categories.
  13. 0:42Okay? You're going to know each
  14. 0:44category.
  15. 0:46What do you need to show the ENLEX in
  16. 0:50order to prove that you're a safe nurse
  17. 0:52in each one of those categories? And the
  18. 0:55best of all, we're going to practice
  19. 0:57enclelex style questions. All right, so
  20. 1:00it's going to be very very interesting.
  21. 1:05Day two agenda, we're going to talk
  22. 1:07about the distribution of ENLEX content.
  23. 1:11We're going to talk about how to master
  24. 1:14physiological integrity
  25. 1:17and the subcategories included in
  26. 1:20physiological integrity which includes
  27. 1:23basic care and comfort, pharmacological
  28. 1:26and parental therapies and reduction of
  29. 1:30risk potential. And in each category
  30. 1:33today we are going to practice enclelex
  31. 1:37style questions. So we're going to
  32. 1:39practice about two question for each
  33. 1:41category and then tomorrow we will
  34. 1:44continue with the other enclelex
  35. 1:47categories.
  36. 1:49All right, thank you for everyone that
  37. 1:52showed up yesterday supporting our
  38. 1:54channel. Thank you for that. And today
  39. 1:57we're going to get into uh deeper waters
  40. 2:00and we're going to start developing that
  41. 2:03critical thinking and your ability to
  42. 2:06answer ENLEX style questions. When we
  43. 2:09talk about the distribution of content
  44. 2:11for the ENCLEX, we have several
  45. 2:15categories and subcategories.
  46. 2:19And each one of these categories has a
  47. 2:22percentage of questions that you can see
  48. 2:25on the ENLEX. For example, if we look on
  49. 2:28the upper left, physiological
  50. 2:31adaptation, you can see about 14% of the
  51. 2:35ENLEX questions related to physiological
  52. 2:39adaptation.
  53. 2:41What does this represent? Basically if
  54. 2:44you do a 100 question enlex you could
  55. 2:48see about 14 questions on the enlex on
  56. 2:52physiological adaptation
  57. 2:55we see that reduction of risk potential
  58. 2:58is 12% pharmacological and parental
  59. 3:02therapies 15% basic care and comfort 9%
  60. 3:07psychosocial integrity 9% health
  61. 3:11promotion and maintenance
  62. 3:139%
  63. 3:14safe and infection control or safety and
  64. 3:18infection control 12% and management of
  65. 3:22care 20%. So as you can see the biggest
  66. 3:26categories are management of care,
  67. 3:30physiological adaptation and
  68. 3:32pharmarmacological and parental
  69. 3:35therapies. But do not worry, we are
  70. 3:37going to discuss each one of them and
  71. 3:40we're going to practice questions
  72. 3:42together. So no more delays. Let's begin
  73. 3:46with basic care and comfort.
  74. 3:49So Rey, what do you what do I have to
  75. 3:52show the ENLEX
  76. 3:55in order to prove them that I I am a
  77. 3:58safe nurse when it comes to basic care
  78. 4:01and comfort? Basically, you have to show
  79. 4:04the ability to provide comfort and
  80. 4:08assistance with activities of daily
  81. 4:12living. Now guys, this comes directly
  82. 4:16from NCSBN. My wife and I, we have been
  83. 4:20to several yearly meetings for NCBN and
  84. 4:24we've had the opportunity to sit there
  85. 4:27and ask questions and it has been very
  86. 4:31very useful for us in order to prepare
  87. 4:35our content to teach our students
  88. 4:38and basically accordingly to the NCSBN
  89. 4:42ENLEX these topics are included in basic
  90. 4:47care and comfort. Thank you Mr. Mixel
  91. 4:52Linarees for supporting our YouTube
  92. 4:55channel. We appreciate it. So these
  93. 4:58subtopics or topics are included in
  94. 5:02basic care and comfort. Assist the
  95. 5:05client to compensate for physical and
  96. 5:09sensory impairment.
  97. 5:11These type of questions deals with
  98. 5:13assistive devices,
  99. 5:16positioning and compensatory techniques.
  100. 5:20Also, you're going to see assessment and
  101. 5:23manage management of client with
  102. 5:25alteration in elimination,
  103. 5:28performing irrigations,
  104. 5:31apply, maintain and remove orthopedics
  105. 5:34devices, implement measures to promote
  106. 5:37circulation and so on. I'm not going to
  107. 5:42read each one of this because you can
  108. 5:44read by yourself. But what I want you to
  109. 5:46do is write this down. And as you use
  110. 5:50your resources to study for the ENLEX
  111. 5:53like the Sanders book for example like I
  112. 5:56shared with you guys yesterday
  113. 5:58what I encourage is that each one of you
  114. 6:01use the Sanders book or whatever other
  115. 6:03book that you have nursing book and
  116. 6:06review and study each one of these
  117. 6:10topics. Now remember the key is not to
  118. 6:16memorize it but understand it. Um the
  119. 6:21photo is a little bit small. I don't
  120. 6:23know if you have like a tablet or or a
  121. 6:26phone you can zoom in and see it a
  122. 6:29little bit better. But also this is not
  123. 6:32something that I created. You can find
  124. 6:34it on ncsbn.org
  125. 6:37or if you type on Google
  126. 6:41Enclelex test plan the last revision was
  127. 6:45done in 2019
  128. 6:48so use that Google and go NCSBN enclelex
  129. 6:53test plan download it and you're going
  130. 6:56to see what is included in each one of
  131. 7:00those categories
  132. 7:02guys everything is out there I'm not
  133. 7:05making this up is information that NCSBN
  134. 7:09provides to professors and every
  135. 7:13candidate that is presenting to the
  136. 7:16ENLEX.
  137. 7:18Okay. So what I want to do next I want
  138. 7:21to practice some questions. Okay. So
  139. 7:24let's practice two questions about basic
  140. 7:28care and comfort. So this is question
  141. 7:31number one. And as I am reading this
  142. 7:34question and highlighting or indicating
  143. 7:38specific keywords which you learned
  144. 7:41yesterday, remember the five key factors
  145. 7:44of an enclelex question. If you don't
  146. 7:46know what I'm talking about, find day
  147. 7:49one, day one training of our 7-day
  148. 7:52training and you're going to hear the
  149. 7:55five key factors of an ENLEX question.
  150. 7:59So as I review this question, think
  151. 8:02about the question and comment on the
  152. 8:06comment section what you think is the
  153. 8:08answer. Okay? And why why do you think
  154. 8:11that is the answer? That is the most
  155. 8:14important thing to do. That way I can
  156. 8:16read and I can see what is your thinking
  157. 8:20process. Okay. So the male client is
  158. 8:23diagnosed with Gileian Beret syndrome
  159. 8:26and is in the intensive care unit on a
  160. 8:30ventilator. So in this question we don't
  161. 8:34have a lot of information about our
  162. 8:37client. The only thing we know that is a
  163. 8:40male client. We have a diagnosis which
  164. 8:44is Gileian Beret
  165. 8:47and the patient is in the intensive care
  166. 8:50unit on a ventilator.
  167. 8:54This is important
  168. 8:57because knowing that the patient is on a
  169. 9:00ventilator can tell you about the
  170. 9:03seriousness of this patient's condition.
  171. 9:08Thank you, Mr. Jorge Martinez, for
  172. 9:10supporting our channel. I appreciate it.
  173. 9:14Now read the next question. It says,
  174. 9:17"Which cardiovascular
  175. 9:21rationale explains implementing passive
  176. 9:26range of motion exercises.
  177. 9:31Cardiovascular
  178. 9:33rationale.
  179. 9:35So the answer that you're looking for
  180. 9:38needs to have a relationship with card
  181. 9:43the cardiova cardiovascular system.
  182. 9:47So if you're looking at the answer and
  183. 9:49it's not related to the cardiovascular
  184. 9:52system is the wrong answer. The mistake
  185. 9:55that student make in this question here
  186. 9:59is that they automatically go and think
  187. 10:02about passive range of motion exercise.
  188. 10:06And yes, that is a an important factor
  189. 10:09of the question. But the answer that
  190. 10:12we're looking for, the rationale has to
  191. 10:15do with the cardiovascular system.
  192. 10:18So let's review answer number one. It
  193. 10:20says passive range of mo passive range
  194. 10:24of motion exercises will prevent
  195. 10:27contractions from developing.
  196. 10:31And yes, answer number one is a good
  197. 10:35answer because it is true passive range
  198. 10:39of motion exercise help prevent
  199. 10:42contractions from developing. However,
  200. 10:45this is a muscularkeeletal complication,
  201. 10:49not a cardiovascular
  202. 10:52complication.
  203. 10:53So, we can eliminate answer number one.
  204. 10:56And once again, I am using the process
  205. 10:59of elimination.
  206. 11:02Answer number two, the client will feel
  207. 11:05better if he is able to exercise and
  208. 11:10stretch his muscles.
  209. 11:13Well, let's think about this one here.
  210. 11:17The patient is on a ventilator.
  211. 11:21What this means is that you know in
  212. 11:23Gileiam we have ascending paralysis. So
  213. 11:28if a patient is on a ventilator the
  214. 11:32ascending paralysis reach the
  215. 11:36respiratory muscles.
  216. 11:38So we're looking at a serious condition.
  217. 11:41So this patient will not be able to
  218. 11:44exercise and stretch his muscles. That
  219. 11:48will be active range of motion and we're
  220. 11:52talking about passive range of motion.
  221. 11:56So answer number two, we can eliminate.
  222. 12:01Answer number three,
  223. 12:04range of motion exercise will help
  224. 12:08alleviate the pain associated with
  225. 12:12Gileian Beret. Well, as in number three,
  226. 12:16we can eliminate for two reasons. One,
  227. 12:19it would not alleviate the pain and two,
  228. 12:24it has nothing to do with the
  229. 12:26cardiovascular system. So answer number
  230. 12:29three is eliminated.
  231. 12:33Answer number four passive range of
  232. 12:36motion help to prevent
  233. 12:40DVTs
  234. 12:42deep vein trombosis
  235. 12:45by movement of the blood through the
  236. 12:48veins. So are we talking about the
  237. 12:53cardiovascular system? Is number four a
  238. 12:57cardiovascular rational of why we will
  239. 13:01be implementing passive range of motion?
  240. 13:05The answer is yes. So answer number four
  241. 13:10is the correct answer.
  242. 13:14I don't know if you are paying attention
  243. 13:17from day one from since yesterday you
  244. 13:20have been listening to me on how I
  245. 13:24analyze enclelex question and you're
  246. 13:27going to see something very important. I
  247. 13:30analyze the question the same way. It
  248. 13:35doesn't matter if it's a content
  249. 13:37question. It doesn't matter if it's a
  250. 13:40prioritization question. The most
  251. 13:42important thing for you to do is first
  252. 13:46identify the key factors of an enclelex
  253. 13:49question and then start analyzing answer
  254. 13:53by answer using the process of
  255. 13:56elimination. So you are not looking for
  256. 13:59the correct answer, you're looking for
  257. 14:01an incorrect answer to eliminate. Would
  258. 14:05you agree that is not the same selecting
  259. 14:08the right answer in four answer choices?
  260. 14:11Then if you eliminate two of them and
  261. 14:13now you're in between two answer
  262. 14:15choices. Now what is the usual problem?
  263. 14:20Students analyze eliminate and then they
  264. 14:24get to two possible answers and most
  265. 14:28times they choose the wrong answer. And
  266. 14:32that is okay. It's one step at a time.
  267. 14:35Throughout the training you will
  268. 14:37continue to develop your critical
  269. 14:38thinking and you will you will select
  270. 14:42the correct answer more often. Okay. So
  271. 14:48answer number four is the correct
  272. 14:50answer. Let's look at another question.
  273. 14:56This question says after a prostatectomy
  274. 15:01a client is diagnosed with a major
  275. 15:03complication of hemorrhage and hypoalmic
  276. 15:08shock. Which of the following is the
  277. 15:11initial nursing action? There's a few
  278. 15:15keywords here that are extremely
  279. 15:17important. The condition prostatctomy.
  280. 15:21There's not a lot of information about
  281. 15:23the client.
  282. 15:25The client was diagnosed with a major
  283. 15:27complication of hemorrhage and
  284. 15:30hypovalmic shock. So we know that this
  285. 15:33patient is bleeding. This patient has a
  286. 15:36physiological need regarding airway,
  287. 15:41breathing, circulation as specifically
  288. 15:45circulation. So we know that the
  289. 15:47client's problem is a circulatory
  290. 15:50problem.
  291. 15:52Which of the following is the initial?
  292. 15:55The word initial tells me that I'm
  293. 15:58looking for the first answer. We have
  294. 16:03monitor vital signs, administer a vaso
  295. 16:07dilator to improve the client's blood
  296. 16:09pressure, administer intravenous fluids,
  297. 16:13and record intake and output.
  298. 16:17What an interesting scenario. And answer
  299. 16:20number one or a monitor vital signs is
  300. 16:24an answer that I see very often. Okay.
  301. 16:28Now, are we going to be doing an
  302. 16:31assessment like answer number one or are
  303. 16:36we going to be doing an implementation
  304. 16:39like answer number or letter C
  305. 16:43administer IV fluids?
  306. 16:46What is the priority action? What is the
  307. 16:49initial nursing action? Let's use the
  308. 16:53critical thinking.
  309. 16:56If you analyze this scenario, you have
  310. 16:59determined that this is an emergency.
  311. 17:02And in emergency scenarios, are you
  312. 17:06thinking about doing an assessment or an
  313. 17:08implementation?
  314. 17:11If your patient is in distress, do not
  315. 17:15assess, implement. in most cases. So I'm
  316. 17:20looking for an implementation. So answer
  317. 17:23A I can eliminate because this is an
  318. 17:25assessment.
  319. 17:27Recording the intake and output,
  320. 17:30administering IV fluids and
  321. 17:32administering a vaso dilator. They are
  322. 17:34implementation answers. Now I can
  323. 17:38continue using
  324. 17:40critical thinking and we have two
  325. 17:43answers that are related to another.
  326. 17:48For example, the administration of vasod
  327. 17:51dilator and the administration of IV
  328. 17:55fluids.
  329. 17:57Each one of these answers is going to do
  330. 18:00a different effect on the circulatory
  331. 18:03system. For example, if I administer a
  332. 18:08vessel dilator,
  333. 18:10what is that going to do to the blood
  334. 18:13pressure? Is it going to increase the
  335. 18:17blood pressure or is it going to
  336. 18:20decrease the blood pressure? And
  337. 18:23remember that the patient is in
  338. 18:26hypoalimic
  339. 18:27shock. So the patient is going to be
  340. 18:31hypotensive.
  341. 18:33The patient is in shock. So I need to do
  342. 18:36something that increases the blood
  343. 18:39pressure.
  344. 18:42A vessel dilator
  345. 18:44will decrease the patient's blood
  346. 18:47pressure further and will cause more
  347. 18:51problem.
  348. 18:53B is eliminated.
  349. 18:56Now, administering IV fluids, is that
  350. 19:01going to help with hemorrhage? Yes. Is
  351. 19:05that going to help with hypoalmic shock?
  352. 19:08Yes.
  353. 19:10So, letter C is a very good answer.
  354. 19:15And D, recording the intake and output.
  355. 19:19Do we record intake and output in a
  356. 19:21patient that is in a hypoalmic shock?
  357. 19:24Yes. Is it the priority? Well, very
  358. 19:27simple. Ask this question.
  359. 19:31Between letters C and D, which answer
  360. 19:35helps the patient's condition?
  361. 19:39Administering fluids or documentation?
  362. 19:44Obviously, administration of fluids is
  363. 19:47going to help the patient more. Remember
  364. 19:51documenting is your last action to take.
  365. 19:56You document once you have done
  366. 19:59everything
  367. 20:00that you can do to help the patient.
  368. 20:05Does it make sense? Okay. Are you
  369. 20:09learning? Is that critical thinking
  370. 20:12improving?
  371. 20:13Are you starting to see different things
  372. 20:16that you were not seeing before?
  373. 20:19I hope the answer is yes. And this is
  374. 20:22only the beginning, day two of a whole 7
  375. 20:27day training. You will learn a lot. And
  376. 20:30like I said, on the first day, you will
  377. 20:33never think about an endless question
  378. 20:35the same way. Thank you, Miss Betty
  379. 20:38Delgado, for supporting our our channel.
  380. 20:42And thank you, Miss Alejandra Alexandra
  381. 20:45Tronoso for supporting our YouTube
  382. 20:49channel. I appreciate it.
  383. 20:56All right, Lester Lester asks a great
  384. 21:00question.
  385. 21:01Professor,
  386. 21:03can I administer IV fluids without a
  387. 21:07doctor's order? Excellent question. And
  388. 21:11here's the answer. Remember this for the
  389. 21:14ENLEX.
  390. 21:16It is assumed that you have a doctor's
  391. 21:20order. In other words, you do not have
  392. 21:24to say, "Well, let me call the doctor
  393. 21:26first to ask the doctor if it is okay to
  394. 21:30administer IV fluids." You have an order
  395. 21:33already. What you have to do is say does
  396. 21:37administering IV fluids is it going to
  397. 21:39help my patient with this condition yes
  398. 21:43or no. If the answer is yes go ahead and
  399. 21:46do it. You have the right order. That is
  400. 21:49a very important question and I am glad
  401. 21:53Lester that you asked that question.
  402. 22:03Mercy, you make Enkllex seem simple.
  403. 22:06I wouldn't say it's simple. It's just
  404. 22:09that it is easier for you to
  405. 22:13analyze the question. Because if you
  406. 22:16think about what is easy or hard, simple
  407. 22:20or difficult, it depends on who's
  408. 22:22analyzing it. If you're prepared, if you
  409. 22:26study, if you develop your critical
  410. 22:28thinking, you're going to say, "Ah, this
  411. 22:30is very simple." But if you're not
  412. 22:32prepared, you don't know how to
  413. 22:34prioritize, you don't know how to think
  414. 22:36critically, you're going to see it very
  415. 22:38difficult. So, it depends on who's
  416. 22:41analyzing.
  417. 22:43Thank you, Miss Loose Rodriguez, for
  418. 22:46supporting our channel with that uh
  419. 22:50super chat, super sticker. Excellent.
  420. 22:54All right. Well, that's a little bit
  421. 22:57about basic care and comfort. Let's go
  422. 23:00to
  423. 23:02pharmarmacology.
  424. 23:04Pharmarmacological and parental theapy.
  425. 23:08You have to show the enlex that you have
  426. 23:10the ability to provide appropriate care
  427. 23:15in relationship to the administration of
  428. 23:19medications.
  429. 23:21What are the topics that are included in
  430. 23:25pharmarmacological and parental therapy?
  431. 23:28We have adverse effect, blood products,
  432. 23:32blood transfusion, centravenous access
  433. 23:36devices, dosage calculation,
  434. 23:39expected versus side effect, medication
  435. 23:42administration guidelines and rights,
  436. 23:45parental and intravenous therapies,
  437. 23:48pharmacological actions and agent,
  438. 23:51pharmarmacological interactions,
  439. 23:53pharmarmacological pain management and
  440. 23:56TPN or Toro Parental Nutrition.
  441. 24:01Thank you, Mr. Ismael
  442. 24:04Ramirez. Thank you for supporting our
  443. 24:07YouTube channel.
  444. 24:11Very good, Jasmine.
  445. 24:14Thank you, Miss Auka.
  446. 24:17You're an amazing teacher. I appreciate
  447. 24:19it. Very humble. I am very glad that you
  448. 24:23guys are enjoying this uh training.
  449. 24:26Okay.
  450. 24:28Very good. So why is pharmarmacology so
  451. 24:33difficult? Pharmarmacology is one of the
  452. 24:36most difficult nursing content areas to
  453. 24:39master.
  454. 24:41The reason is that there are an enormous
  455. 24:45number of medications available.
  456. 24:49A vast amount of information to know
  457. 24:53about each medication.
  458. 24:57And this is what I think.
  459. 25:01I don't think it's possible to learn all
  460. 25:05the medications, to learn all the side
  461. 25:08effects, all the adverse effects, the
  462. 25:11intended effect of every medication.
  463. 25:15It's impossible to learn all that. And
  464. 25:18that is the problem.
  465. 25:20But what can we do to deal with this
  466. 25:24problem?
  467. 25:26Because if we focus on the problem,
  468. 25:28we're done. If we try to find the
  469. 25:31solution, then we have a chance.
  470. 25:34So what can we do? And very often
  471. 25:39student ask me, professor, is there a
  472. 25:42list of medications
  473. 25:46that appears on the anklex? The answer
  474. 25:50is no.
  475. 25:52Don't spend money buying a list of
  476. 25:55medication guide that comes up on the
  477. 25:58ENLEX because you know what nobody
  478. 26:01knows. Nobody knows exactly
  479. 26:05what questions are going to appear on
  480. 26:07your ENLEX exam. However, there are
  481. 26:11certain medications or medication
  482. 26:14categories that appear very often. For
  483. 26:17example, emergency drugs.
  484. 26:21Emergency drugs that you give when a
  485. 26:23patient is having airway, breathing,
  486. 26:26circulation problem. If the patient is
  487. 26:29on cardiac arrest, what medications do
  488. 26:31you give? anti anti-coagulants,
  489. 26:34antibiotics,
  490. 26:38medications like heperin, medications
  491. 26:41like couadin,
  492. 26:44insulin
  493. 26:46and on other trainings we will go a
  494. 26:48little bit more in depth about
  495. 26:50pharmarmacology because I tell you I can
  496. 26:53do a seven day training just on
  497. 26:57pharmarmacology and it will probably not
  498. 27:00be enough.
  499. 27:02So we will continue to discuss that in
  500. 27:05future trainings. But understand this,
  501. 27:09focus on the emergency drugs. Focus on
  502. 27:14medications that you use in emergency
  503. 27:16situations and also known high risk
  504. 27:21medications.
  505. 27:23Okay. Also antidotes. They're very
  506. 27:26important for the enklex.
  507. 27:29So another question that I see students
  508. 27:32asking is what do I have to study
  509. 27:37generic or brand names? Do I have to
  510. 27:41know the generic names or brand names of
  511. 27:46medication? And that is a very very
  512. 27:50frequent and common question that I see
  513. 27:53in students. Thank you Mr. Lester
  514. 27:57Pinata.
  515. 27:59for that uh super sticker. I appreciate
  516. 28:01it. Thank you, Miss Yolanda Pantoas for
  517. 28:05supporting our YouTube channel. Thank
  518. 28:08you.
  519. 28:12H Areli, you should do professor a 7day
  520. 28:15training on pharmarmacology. That would
  521. 28:17be amazing.
  522. 28:19Hey, maybe we can do that. If everybody
  523. 28:22wants to do that, we'll do it. We'll
  524. 28:24find another time to do another seven
  525. 28:27day training. Like I said, I really want
  526. 28:31to help you guys out. I think that
  527. 28:34you all of you need a lot of help. And
  528. 28:37if I can do something to to support and
  529. 28:40help the community, I am willing to do
  530. 28:43that here in our in our YouTube channel,
  531. 28:47help other people at the same time. my
  532. 28:50channel grows as well and the academy
  533. 28:53grows. So, I think we help each other
  534. 28:56out. So, we will we will do that. No, no
  535. 28:59problem.
  536. 29:00Thank you, Miss Elizabeth Salana, for uh
  537. 29:04supporting our YouTube channel. So, what
  538. 29:07do I have to learn, Professor Generic
  539. 29:11or brand drug names? Well, accordingly
  540. 29:15to the NCSBN
  541. 29:18at this time,
  542. 29:20they will use generic medication names
  543. 29:25only.
  544. 29:27However, in certain scenarios, they
  545. 29:30could use a brand name, but if they do
  546. 29:34use a brand name, they will give you the
  547. 29:38generic name as well.
  548. 29:42So if I if I were you, I would study the
  549. 29:46generic medications. And the reason is
  550. 29:49because for one generic medication, you
  551. 29:52could see five 10 different brand names.
  552. 29:56And you're not going to have time to
  553. 29:59learn all those brand names. So I am
  554. 30:02glad that the NCPN the ENLEX made that
  555. 30:06decision to only include generic names
  556. 30:09and not brand names.
  557. 30:14All right. So let's talk about
  558. 30:17assessment when it comes to
  559. 30:19pharmarmacology
  560. 30:20because as you know accordingly to the
  561. 30:24nursing process assessment is the first
  562. 30:27step of the nursing pro process. Do not
  563. 30:30confuse that with that assessment is the
  564. 30:32priority all the time. That is a big
  565. 30:35mistake. Assessment is the first step of
  566. 30:39the nursing process but is not always
  567. 30:42the priority. That is an assumption that
  568. 30:45you cannot make. It depends on the
  569. 30:48scenario. But let's talk about
  570. 30:50assessment
  571. 30:51and pharmarmacology.
  572. 30:54One of the most important assessment to
  573. 30:56do is assessment of allergies and hyper
  574. 31:00sensitivity to medications.
  575. 31:03Many medications
  576. 31:05clients can develop allergic reactions.
  577. 31:09So this it is very important to ask and
  578. 31:12determine in the client's clinical
  579. 31:14record if the patient has an allergy to
  580. 31:18a certain medication group.
  581. 31:21It is important to assess the client for
  582. 31:24any existing medical disorders that
  583. 31:27would be contraindicated in the
  584. 31:30administration of a certain medication.
  585. 31:36Assess for potential interactions
  586. 31:39related to medication. In other words,
  587. 31:42if the patient takes over-the-counter
  588. 31:44medication, does it interact with a
  589. 31:48prescription medication?
  590. 31:51Is there any contraindications
  591. 31:53or potential interactions between a
  592. 31:57prescribed medication and let's say uh a
  593. 32:02tea that a patient takes or herbal
  594. 32:05remedies
  595. 32:08assessment of laboratory results.
  596. 32:12For example, if you're giving potassium,
  597. 32:15if you're giving magnesium,
  598. 32:18you need to check the laboratory results
  599. 32:21because otherwise you can give a patient
  600. 32:24a medication that you can cause damage
  601. 32:28to that patient. You can injure that
  602. 32:31patient. For example, there are certain
  603. 32:34medications like let's mention one of
  604. 32:37them heperin
  605. 32:40kumadin. you have to check certain lab
  606. 32:44values and I don't know if you know the
  607. 32:46answer to that. So what is the lab value
  608. 32:49that you have to check if you will
  609. 32:53administer or you are administering
  610. 32:56heperin to a patient that is a good and
  611. 33:00clicks question.
  612. 33:02What is the lab value that you have to
  613. 33:07assess if you're giving a patient
  614. 33:10warerin or kumadin?
  615. 33:14Let me see the chat. What do you think?
  616. 33:19Let me see if if I have a sharp group
  617. 33:23today, tonight.
  618. 33:29See, Janette says PTT
  619. 33:35and PT INR.
  620. 33:42Okay. Jaspine says PTT for heperin,
  621. 33:46PTIR
  622. 33:47for kumadin.
  623. 33:53All right. Excellent. So you have to
  624. 33:56know the relationship between laboratory
  625. 33:59results and medication. Also vital
  626. 34:03signs. For example, if you are
  627. 34:06administering an anti-hypertensive drug,
  628. 34:09you're giving a medic a medication for
  629. 34:11high blood pressure. So, what is a vital
  630. 34:15sign that I have to assess? Well, I have
  631. 34:19to assess the blood pressure. If I am
  632. 34:22giving a medication that uh interacts
  633. 34:25with the heart rate of the patient, for
  634. 34:27example, if I'm giving a beta blocker, I
  635. 34:30have to assess the patient's pulse. If
  636. 34:33I'm giving dioxin, I have to assess the
  637. 34:37patient's pulse. So you have to know the
  638. 34:40relationship between vital signs that
  639. 34:43you have to assess and a medication
  640. 34:47administration.
  641. 34:50You have to assess for intended effect,
  642. 34:54side effect, adverse effect and toxic
  643. 34:57effect of medication. And there is a
  644. 35:01difference between these subjects.
  645. 35:05Intended side effect, adverse effect and
  646. 35:08toxic effect are not the same. We will
  647. 35:11talk about that in the next few minutes.
  648. 35:15Thank you Miss Beverly Kalana
  649. 35:20for
  650. 35:21that super sticker. Thank you for
  651. 35:24supporting
  652. 35:26our YouTube channel. I appreciate it.
  653. 35:29All right. So you have to read the
  654. 35:32question carefully and identify first
  655. 35:36the key factors of an enclelex question
  656. 35:39but also you have to think about
  657. 35:42something very particular to medication.
  658. 35:46Okay we know about
  659. 35:49reviewing and identifying demographic
  660. 35:52information such as age and gender. Who
  661. 35:55is your patient? What is your patient's
  662. 35:58medical history, family history? But now
  663. 36:03with medication administration, we have
  664. 36:05to add something else.
  665. 36:07Allergies to medications.
  666. 36:10And we're going to add something else.
  667. 36:13Do I have information on the stem of the
  668. 36:16question that talks about vital signs?
  669. 36:20That talks about laboratory results.
  670. 36:24Remember if you see that on the stem of
  671. 36:27the question you see a medication
  672. 36:31is there for a reason. Now you have to
  673. 36:34think a little bit more in depth. When
  674. 36:37you are reviewing and identifying the
  675. 36:41key factors of the ENLEX question it's a
  676. 36:44little bit more advanced in
  677. 36:46pharmarmacology.
  678. 36:47Look for keywords such as intended side
  679. 36:51effect or adverse effect. But watch out.
  680. 36:55Sometimes it does not include intended
  681. 36:59side effect or adverse effect or toxic
  682. 37:01effect. But this sentence describes an
  683. 37:06intended side effect, adverse effect or
  684. 37:08toxic effect. And most important,
  685. 37:12continue to use the process of
  686. 37:15elimination and critical thinking
  687. 37:17strategies to answer the question. I
  688. 37:20will tell you when I took the anklex
  689. 37:23I had a lot of difficulties in
  690. 37:26pharmarmacology. I had three problems
  691. 37:30and maybe somebody can uh can relate to
  692. 37:34me. I had pharmarmacology problem. I had
  693. 37:37maternity problem and I had nutrition
  694. 37:40problem. I don't know why but I
  695. 37:44struggled greatly with each one of these
  696. 37:47topics that I just mentioned. I'm
  697. 37:49talking several years ago.
  698. 37:53What did I do? I knew that I couldn't
  699. 37:57develop content overnight and I didn't
  700. 38:01have much time to prepare for the ENLEX.
  701. 38:03I had a family that I had to support and
  702. 38:05I needed to pass the ENLEX quickly. So,
  703. 38:08I studied for a month, that's it. I
  704. 38:10didn't have more time and I did the best
  705. 38:13I could to develop the critical thinking
  706. 38:16and the critical thinking and
  707. 38:18prioritization strategy helped me
  708. 38:21overcome the lack of knowledge that I
  709. 38:24had in certain areas.
  710. 38:27Like I said yesterday, I'm not saying
  711. 38:30don't study, throw the book away. What I
  712. 38:33am saying is that if you develop this
  713. 38:36that I'm telling you critical thinking
  714. 38:37and strategies you will do okay but you
  715. 38:41have to use both in combination
  716. 38:45content and the application of nursing
  717. 38:48knowledge with critical thinking.
  718. 38:51So let's go into further detail about
  719. 38:54intended effect toxic effect adverse
  720. 38:57effect and side effect.
  721. 39:03If you know the difference between these
  722. 39:06four
  723. 39:08subjects, you will learn to respond most
  724. 39:13of pharmarmacology and cllex question.
  725. 39:17And I'll tell you this,
  726. 39:19if you develop this strategy that I'm
  727. 39:22going to teach you next, you will be
  728. 39:25able to answer some pharmarmacology
  729. 39:28questions even without knowing the drug
  730. 39:33because sometimes the drug is irrelevant
  731. 39:37to the question and the reason of why
  732. 39:41the question was created.
  733. 39:44For example, if I'm talking about what
  734. 39:47is the most important action to take and
  735. 39:51one of the answers says ask the patient
  736. 39:54for allergies,
  737. 39:57does it really matter what the
  738. 39:59medication is? If one answer says call
  739. 40:04the doctor, the other answer says give
  740. 40:06the medication in the morning. The other
  741. 40:09one says h check the pulse. And the last
  742. 40:12answer says, ask the patient for
  743. 40:15allergies of this medication.
  744. 40:18Do you really need to know the drug
  745. 40:21category? Do you really need to know
  746. 40:23everything there is to be known about
  747. 40:25that medication to answer that question?
  748. 40:28No. Because the question is a safety
  749. 40:30question. The question is you have to
  750. 40:33ask the patient for allergies to
  751. 40:36medications. Because guess what? If the
  752. 40:39patient has allergy to that medication,
  753. 40:42I will not be giving that medication.
  754. 40:45So, is it relevant to call the doctor
  755. 40:47first? Is it relevant to check for the
  756. 40:49pulse? Is it relevant to check for the
  757. 40:52blood pressure or whatever? So, what I'm
  758. 40:55saying is if you are reviewing an ENLEX
  759. 40:59question that has to do with
  760. 41:00pharmarmacology and you look at the
  761. 41:04medication and you say, "Oh my god, I
  762. 41:06don't know that medication." Do not give
  763. 41:08up. Continue reading. Continue using
  764. 41:12your critical thinking and see where you
  765. 41:15get because it is better to use critical
  766. 41:18thinking than to say I don't know A B C
  767. 41:20D C. Okay? Don't do that the day of your
  768. 41:24exam.
  769. 41:26So let's learn about the difference
  770. 41:30between intended side effect and adverse
  771. 41:33effect. An intended effect is the
  772. 41:36desired
  773. 41:37and expected effect of a medication.
  774. 41:43For example, if I give a patient
  775. 41:46morphine sulfate,
  776. 41:49the intended effect that I want out of
  777. 41:52this medication in a patient that has
  778. 41:55pain is to relieve the pain. that is the
  779. 42:00intended effect or reason of why I'm
  780. 42:05giving a medication.
  781. 42:08On the other hand,
  782. 42:11when we talk about a side effect
  783. 42:15is a physiological effect of the
  784. 42:17medication that is unrelated to the
  785. 42:21intended medication effect.
  786. 42:25It is something that the patient
  787. 42:27[clears throat]
  788. 42:28sorry could experience
  789. 42:32after administering a medication.
  790. 42:38Okay. So a side effect is a
  791. 42:42physiological effect of a medication
  792. 42:44that is unrelated to the intended
  793. 42:48medication effect. An example of this,
  794. 42:51let's say you're giving a patient an
  795. 42:53antihistamine medication. What is a
  796. 42:57known side effect? Drossiness.
  797. 43:00You're not giving the antihistamine to
  798. 43:03produce drossiness. That is a side
  799. 43:06effect.
  800. 43:08Now when we talk about side effects and
  801. 43:10I see books making these mistakes all
  802. 43:13the time
  803. 43:15they confuse side effect and adverse
  804. 43:18effect. It's not the same thing.
  805. 43:22side effect
  806. 43:24is usually not lifethreatening
  807. 43:30and usually
  808. 43:33you can relieve or alleviate
  809. 43:36the discomfort associated with that
  810. 43:39medication very easy. In other words, a
  811. 43:43side effect is a an effect of the
  812. 43:47medication that is unwanted,
  813. 43:50but that effect does not cause okay is
  814. 43:55not going to injure my patient greatly.
  815. 43:59It's not going to cause a lifealtering
  816. 44:03condition.
  817. 44:06And I'll give you an example.
  818. 44:09Let's say you give a patient morphine
  819. 44:12sulfate. We talked about morphine
  820. 44:14sulfate already.
  821. 44:16We talked about the intended effect
  822. 44:18being to relieve pain.
  823. 44:22But what is a common and expected side
  824. 44:25effect? Constipation.
  825. 44:30Can you treat constipation rather easy?
  826. 44:33Yes. Increase fiber and more water
  827. 44:36intake.
  828. 44:38So yes is a expected side effect of the
  829. 44:42medication an unwanted one but does not
  830. 44:46cause lifealtering injuries to the
  831. 44:49patient. It can be taken care of easily.
  832. 44:54On the contrary, an adverse effect
  833. 44:59is more severe side effect and always
  834. 45:05has an undesirable effect. For example,
  835. 45:09let's talk about sulfanomide.
  836. 45:13A an adverse effect is hyper sensitivity
  837. 45:17to that medication. If a patient is
  838. 45:19allergic to it, the patient can have
  839. 45:22rash, fever, and shortness of breath.
  840. 45:26Another example is anaphilaxis.
  841. 45:29It's an adverse effect and it cannot be
  842. 45:32treated easily.
  843. 45:34A side effect can be treated easily. An
  844. 45:37adverse effect cannot be treated easily.
  845. 45:42And we probably need a health care
  846. 45:44provider, a nursing intervention to help
  847. 45:48the patient with that adverse reaction
  848. 45:52otherwise the patient could die very
  849. 45:56very soon.
  850. 45:58So, as you're reviewing a
  851. 46:00pharmarmacology question and they tell
  852. 46:03you which of the following
  853. 46:05um side effects is expected in this
  854. 46:09medication,
  855. 46:10you're going to be thinking, okay, a
  856. 46:12side effect is something common that a
  857. 46:15patient can experience,
  858. 46:18but it's something that can be treated
  859. 46:20easily and is not going to cause
  860. 46:24lifealtering situations on the patient.
  861. 46:27On the contrary, if it says which of the
  862. 46:30following is an adverse effect of the
  863. 46:32medication, then you're looking at
  864. 46:34something serious, something that if you
  865. 46:37don't treat very quickly, the patient
  866. 46:40could experience a lifethreatening
  867. 46:42condition.
  868. 46:44Thank you, Miss Jel Nunes, for the super
  869. 46:51chat sticker. Thank you for supporting
  870. 46:54our channel.
  871. 46:58All right.
  872. 47:02So, this is getting very interesting.
  873. 47:04We're going to continue practicing a few
  874. 47:07more questions. I hope that you are
  875. 47:09excited about day two of our past the
  876. 47:13Enclelex step-by-step 7day training.

  885. 47:43with other nurses. But don't go
  886. 47:45anywhere. We're not done. We're going to
  887. 47:48continue practicing some questions
  888. 47:51together. We're going to take everything
  889. 47:53that I've said so far about
  890. 47:55pharmarmacology and see it on an
  891. 47:58enclelex style question.
  892. 48:01Uh S. Awesome. Mr. Patel, yes. Thank
  893. 48:06you, sir.
  894. 48:08H best one ever. Darlene, I'm learning a
  895. 48:12lot. Excellent.
  896. 48:15Luis Brown, I love it.
  897. 48:19Awesome. Thank you for the support.
  898. 48:24Miss Mara, very beneficial. Thank you so
  899. 48:27much.
  900. 48:31Miss Ariana Morales, thank you for the
  901. 48:34donation. Thank you for supporting our
  902. 48:36YouTube channel. I appreciate it.
  903. 48:41Miss Deborah, h thanks a lot. Thank you,
  904. 48:44too.
  905. 48:47All right. Excellent. So, let's
  906. 48:49continue. Let's review a question
  907. 48:52together.
  908. 48:54It says, "The nurse notes that the
  909. 48:57primary healthc care provider has
  910. 48:59prescribed sulfamethasol
  911. 49:02and trimetrop
  912. 49:04for a client. Which priority action
  913. 49:07should the n should the nurse take
  914. 49:10before administering
  915. 49:12this medication?
  916. 49:15Which priority action?"
  917. 49:18So which priority action means that this
  918. 49:21is a priority question should the nurse
  919. 49:25take before
  920. 49:27administering this medication.
  921. 49:30So there's not a whole lot of
  922. 49:33information about the patient. All we
  923. 49:35know is a medication that was prescribed
  924. 49:38and we have to take an action before
  925. 49:42giving the medication.
  926. 49:47So, ask the client about an allergy.
  927. 49:52Call the pharmacy to obtain the
  928. 49:54medication.
  929. 49:56Inform the client about the need to
  930. 49:58increase fluid intake.
  931. 50:00Check the medication supply room to find
  932. 50:03out whether the medication needs to be
  933. 50:05obtained from the pharmacy.
  934. 50:07Wow, what an interesting scenario.
  935. 50:12So, what is my priority action in this
  936. 50:15scenario? Answer number one
  937. 50:18says ask the client about allergy. So
  938. 50:21what is answer number one has to do with
  939. 50:24one the patient.
  940. 50:27Two safety
  941. 50:31medication
  942. 50:33safety.
  943. 50:36What about answer number two? Call the
  944. 50:38pharmacy to obtain the medication. This
  945. 50:41deals with the medication. Answer
  946. 50:46number three, inform the client about
  947. 50:49the need to increase fluid intake. Wait
  948. 50:52a second.
  949. 50:54So, we have a situation.
  950. 50:57The stem of the questions says, "What is
  951. 51:00the priority before giving the
  952. 51:02medication? Do I really have to be
  953. 51:04teaching the patient about increasing
  954. 51:06fluid intake now? Can I do that later
  955. 51:09on?" Yes. So, that's not my priority.
  956. 51:13Answer
  957. 51:15number four, check the medication supply
  958. 51:18rooms. In other words, check the room,
  959. 51:21find out about the medication. So, we
  960. 51:24have answer number one, the focus is
  961. 51:28patient and safety. Answer number two,
  962. 51:32the medication. And answer number four,
  963. 51:35the supply room and the medication.
  964. 51:38So, what is the priority? The priority
  965. 51:41is my patient and whether the patient
  966. 51:45has an allergy to this medication or
  967. 51:48not.
  968. 51:51If you look at this question and this is
  969. 51:54the scenario that I was telling you
  970. 51:56about
  971. 51:57the medication is irrelevant.
  972. 52:00It could be Tylenol. It could be
  973. 52:04acetaminophen.
  974. 52:06Whatever
  975. 52:07the focus of this question is safety
  976. 52:12and my priority nursing action is to
  977. 52:15determine if the patient has allergies
  978. 52:19to this medication,
  979. 52:22but it could be any medication. But
  980. 52:25maybe you're reviewing this question and
  981. 52:27and you don't know about sulfamethasol.
  982. 52:31You don't know that this medication is
  983. 52:33given to treat bacterial infections.
  984. 52:37But in reality to answer this question,
  985. 52:41you don't really need to know a whole
  986. 52:43lot about sulfa at least in this
  987. 52:46scenario.
  988. 52:48Okay.
  989. 52:49All right.
  990. 52:52Let's review a select all that apply.
  991. 52:57I know a lot of you have been
  992. 52:59communicating with me in our telegram
  993. 53:02group about seleto that applies and
  994. 53:06although I'm not going to go into into
  995. 53:08indepth about seleto that apply I want
  996. 53:11to share with you this scenario and I
  997. 53:15want you to start thinking about the
  998. 53:18proper steps to follow in a select all
  999. 53:21that apply however I'll tell you this
  1000. 53:26most select Like all that apply
  1001. 53:27questions, they are content related.
  1002. 53:32In other words, many of them are content
  1003. 53:34style questions or recall and
  1004. 53:36recognition style questions. There's
  1005. 53:39usually not a whole lot of critical
  1006. 53:41thinking that take in place in a select
  1007. 53:44apply question. However, in this
  1008. 53:46scenario, we can use some critical
  1009. 53:49thinking in this selector that apply. So
  1010. 53:53read this question with me. Analyze this
  1011. 53:55question with me.
  1012. 53:56Tell me in the chat, comment on the chat
  1013. 54:00what is your answer
  1014. 54:03and let me talk about SATS or select all
  1015. 54:07that apply. The first misconception that
  1016. 54:10I have heard on with my students about
  1017. 54:14select that applies.
  1018. 54:18Select that apply is a right and all or
  1019. 54:22nothing scenario. Meaning if the ENLEX
  1020. 54:26determines that there are three correct
  1021. 54:30answers and you select two correct
  1022. 54:33answers is wrong.
  1023. 54:36If the ENLEX determines that that there
  1024. 54:39are three correct answers and you select
  1025. 54:42four is wrong. You have to select
  1026. 54:47exactly
  1027. 54:48the right amount of answers in order for
  1028. 54:53the question to be answered correctly.
  1029. 54:57Now
  1030. 54:59taking that into consideration, let's
  1031. 55:02review this scenario.
  1032. 55:05The nurse is caring for several clients
  1033. 55:07on the respiratory unit who are
  1034. 55:10receiving
  1035. 55:11B beta aduric agonist broncoilator
  1036. 55:16aluterol
  1037. 55:18in the prescribed nebulizer treatments.
  1038. 55:22Which side effects?
  1039. 55:27Important keyword.
  1040. 55:30Which side effect will the nurse expect
  1041. 55:33to assess following administration?
  1042. 55:38Select that apply. So remember what I
  1043. 55:42taught about side effects versus adverse
  1044. 55:47effect. So, a side effect is an
  1045. 55:51undesired
  1046. 55:53expected effect of a medication
  1047. 55:56that can be treated
  1048. 55:59and usually
  1049. 56:01is not going to cause a life-threatening
  1050. 56:04condition.
  1051. 56:06So, let's review answer number one. And
  1052. 56:10I see several of you selected answer
  1053. 56:13number one.
  1054. 56:17increase
  1055. 56:18tacipia.
  1056. 56:20So increase the rate of breathing.
  1057. 56:25If we're giving a bronco dilator
  1058. 56:28albuterol, you have to think of first
  1059. 56:32before we think of the side effect. What
  1060. 56:34is the intended effect? Why am I giving
  1061. 56:38aluterol?
  1062. 56:40in many cases could be to treat wheezing
  1063. 56:44difficulty breathing
  1064. 56:47is given in many conditions it's given
  1065. 56:51in COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary
  1066. 56:54disease
  1067. 56:56so what is the expected therapeltic
  1068. 56:59effect of a bronco dilator
  1069. 57:03if a patient is having difficulty
  1070. 57:05breathing and we give a bronco dilator a
  1071. 57:08medication that is going to dilate the
  1072. 57:10bronchioles,
  1073. 57:12the patient is going to be able to
  1074. 57:14breathe better.
  1075. 57:17So we are not expecting a higher
  1076. 57:21respiratory rate or typnia. We are
  1077. 57:24expecting a decrease in the rate of
  1078. 57:30breathing.
  1079. 57:33So answer number one does not make sense
  1080. 57:37to the intended effect of the
  1081. 57:39medication.
  1082. 57:42Now irritability
  1083. 57:44and nervousness, shakiness,
  1084. 57:47we see that as a side effect of aluterol
  1085. 57:53of a bronco dilator. So answer number
  1086. 57:56two is a definite correct answer.
  1087. 58:01Now what do we see in patients that take
  1088. 58:06aluterol a bronco dilator? We see that
  1089. 58:10the heart rate goes up. So we see
  1090. 58:15tachicardia.
  1091. 58:17This is why in patients that are already
  1092. 58:20tachicardic
  1093. 58:22we have to be careful when we're giving
  1094. 58:24this medication.
  1095. 58:27So tachicardia
  1096. 58:29is a side effect of this medication
  1097. 58:35increase sumance. And I want you to
  1098. 58:38compare answer four and five
  1099. 58:43because they are opposite to each other.
  1100. 58:47And this is a strategy that I use in
  1101. 58:49selectto that applies. I try to find if
  1102. 58:52there are answers that are similar or
  1103. 58:55opposite to each other.
  1104. 58:57So what can this medication cause?
  1105. 59:01Somnolence
  1106. 59:03or insomnia.
  1107. 59:06And look at the other answers.
  1108. 59:09Irritability,
  1109. 59:11nervousness.
  1110. 59:13You think the patient is going to be
  1111. 59:15with some or insomnia.
  1112. 59:19If you see irritability,
  1113. 59:22nervousness and tachicardia and answer
  1114. 59:25number six,
  1115. 59:27anxiety.
  1116. 59:29So if you think about this,
  1117. 59:34irritability and nervousness,
  1118. 59:38tachicardia,
  1119. 59:40insomnia, and anxiety, they're kind of
  1120. 59:44related to each other.
  1121. 59:47Think about it.
  1122. 59:49And it is opposite to answer number four
  1123. 59:54somnance which is the opposite of a
  1124. 59:58patient that is right a wide awake or
  1125. 1:00:02very awake.
  1126. 1:00:05Therefore answer number two three five
  1127. 1:00:10and six are the correct answers. we
  1128. 1:00:14eliminate answer number one and answer
  1129. 1:00:18number four. And this is the scenario
  1130. 1:00:22that I was giving you. Let's say in your
  1131. 1:00:25answers you selected 2, three, and five.
  1132. 1:00:30And you forgot answer number six is
  1133. 1:00:32wrong.
  1134. 1:00:34Let's say that you selected two, three,
  1135. 1:00:37five, six, and one.
  1136. 1:00:40wrong answer because you selected an
  1137. 1:00:43incorrect answer. So it is an all or
  1138. 1:00:48nothing scenario.
  1139. 1:00:50Starting April 2023
  1140. 1:00:54is going to change. The ENLEX will be
  1141. 1:00:57different and the the way they're going
  1142. 1:01:01to calculate if a question is right or
  1143. 1:01:03wrong is different than the way they do
  1144. 1:01:06it now. But we cannot worry about 2023
  1145. 1:01:11yet because we're in 2022.
  1146. 1:01:14So let's continue.
  1147. 1:01:20Reduction of risk potential. And this is
  1148. 1:01:23the last category that I want to share
  1149. 1:01:26with you on day two training.
  1150. 1:01:31Reduction of risk potential refers to
  1151. 1:01:34the nurse's ability to decrease the
  1152. 1:01:37potential for clients to develop
  1153. 1:01:40complications or health pro or health
  1154. 1:01:44problems related to treatments,
  1155. 1:01:48procedures or existing condition.
  1156. 1:01:53Now
  1157. 1:01:55what are the topics that are included
  1158. 1:01:58accordingly to the test plan on
  1159. 1:02:01reduction of risk potential? Diagnostic
  1160. 1:02:04test monitoring conscious sedation
  1161. 1:02:08potential for alteration in the systems
  1162. 1:02:11of the body or in body systems. Tests
  1163. 1:02:15treatments procedures uh pro potential
  1164. 1:02:18complications related to a diagnostic
  1165. 1:02:20procedure. system specific assessment,
  1166. 1:02:23therapeutic procedures, vital signs and
  1167. 1:02:27lab values.
  1168. 1:02:29So all of these topics are included in
  1169. 1:02:33reduction of reduction of risk
  1170. 1:02:36potential. Now let's review a priority
  1171. 1:02:40question related to this category.
  1172. 1:02:45Here's the question.
  1173. 1:02:49Uh, Crystal, guys, isn't today supposed
  1174. 1:02:52to be day two? Yes. Yes. Uh, Crystal, it
  1175. 1:02:56is day two. I just had issues with the
  1176. 1:03:00technology at the beginning and for
  1177. 1:03:02whatever reason, the video that I had
  1178. 1:03:05originally created for day two didn't
  1179. 1:03:08work on YouTube. So, I had to use the
  1180. 1:03:12day one link in order to to start live.
  1181. 1:03:16Otherwise, you guys were going to be
  1182. 1:03:18waiting the whole afternoon and I did
  1183. 1:03:21the best thing I could to start the live
  1184. 1:03:24as soon as possible. So, that is why you
  1185. 1:03:27see on the title day number one.
  1186. 1:03:30However, I will change that after the
  1187. 1:03:33live uh YouTube training and it will say
  1188. 1:03:38the right title uh day number two. Okay.
  1189. 1:03:42So to confirm, we are on day number two
  1190. 1:03:46of our 7day training. Okay,
  1191. 1:03:51I hope that uh clarifies
  1192. 1:03:55Crystal.
  1193. 1:03:58Okay, perfect. So the nurse is caring
  1194. 1:04:01for clients on a medical floor. Which
  1195. 1:04:04client is the highest priority?
  1196. 1:04:08A strategy that I like to use when I see
  1197. 1:04:12a question that gives me four different
  1198. 1:04:15patients.
  1199. 1:04:17I try to identify
  1200. 1:04:21which patient is stable versus unstable.
  1201. 1:04:26I try to identify if there is a patient
  1202. 1:04:29that has an acute condition
  1203. 1:04:33versus a chronic condition.
  1204. 1:04:36I try to identify if there is a patient
  1205. 1:04:40that has some kind of airway, breathing,
  1206. 1:04:44circulation compromise.
  1207. 1:04:48So as I review my answers, I try to
  1208. 1:04:52think about that.
  1209. 1:04:54So patient A, 84 year old exhibiting
  1210. 1:04:59uncontrolled atrial fibrillation.
  1211. 1:05:04Letter B 60 year old 60 year old
  1212. 1:05:08exhibiting asymptomatic
  1213. 1:05:10sinus bradic cardia so let's compare A
  1214. 1:05:14and B and I like to do that I like to
  1215. 1:05:17compare one patient with the other and
  1216. 1:05:20start eliminating remember I always use
  1217. 1:05:24the process of elimination
  1218. 1:05:26so if I compare A and B
  1219. 1:05:31who is worst
  1220. 1:05:33uncontrolled called atrial fibrillation
  1221. 1:05:36or asymptomatic
  1222. 1:05:40sinus bradic cardia.
  1223. 1:05:43So the word asytomatic
  1224. 1:05:46tells me that the patient is not
  1225. 1:05:49experiencing any symptoms.
  1226. 1:05:53So I think B we can eliminate.
  1227. 1:06:00Notice I'm not looking for the right
  1228. 1:06:03answer yet. The only thing that I do was
  1229. 1:06:05compare A and B.
  1230. 1:06:08So now B is out of the way. I will
  1231. 1:06:13compare A and C. Now A says
  1232. 1:06:1884 uncontrolled atrial fibrillation.
  1233. 1:06:22C says 53 year old exhibiting
  1234. 1:06:26ventricular
  1235. 1:06:28fibrillation.
  1236. 1:06:30Oh, we got a problem
  1237. 1:06:33because we know that ventricular
  1238. 1:06:36fibrillation is a deadly disriythmia.
  1239. 1:06:41This patient needs CPR
  1240. 1:06:45and defibrillation
  1241. 1:06:48soon.
  1242. 1:06:49So A and C C is in a work worse
  1243. 1:06:54condition or a more unstable condition.
  1244. 1:07:00So I so I eliminate letter A.
  1245. 1:07:04Now I'm going to compare C and D.
  1246. 1:07:10D 65year-old exhibiting supra
  1247. 1:07:14ventricular tachiardia.
  1248. 1:07:17This is a big problem as well. But
  1249. 1:07:20notice the word supra ventricular or
  1250. 1:07:24above the ventricles.
  1251. 1:07:28So what is a worst scenario?
  1252. 1:07:31Ventricular fibrillation or supra
  1253. 1:07:35ventricular tachiardia. Ventricular
  1254. 1:07:37fibrillation
  1255. 1:07:39is the worst condition. So the answer is
  1256. 1:07:43C.
  1257. 1:07:46Now
  1258. 1:07:47you may look at this question and say oh
  1259. 1:07:51professor this this is easy I know
  1260. 1:07:54ventricular fibrillation is the answer
  1261. 1:07:57over supra ventricular tachicardia over
  1262. 1:08:00asymptomatic suspicardia over
  1263. 1:08:02uncontrolled atrial fibrillation.
  1264. 1:08:05However, I am teaching you thinking
  1265. 1:08:08process.
  1266. 1:08:10Use the same process in whatever the
  1267. 1:08:13topic or situation.
  1268. 1:08:16The problem that I see many of you have
  1269. 1:08:19is that you do not have a system.
  1270. 1:08:23You fail to analyze questions the right
  1271. 1:08:27way and the only thing that you're using
  1272. 1:08:29is content. When the questions get gets
  1273. 1:08:33more difficult, when the scenario is not
  1274. 1:08:36as clear, you don't know what to do. I'm
  1275. 1:08:40teaching you the steps first.
  1276. 1:08:43I want you to improve the critical
  1277. 1:08:46thinking process. I want you to have a
  1278. 1:08:48system at your side and then we will
  1279. 1:08:53review harder questions,
  1280. 1:08:55a more difficult scenario.
  1281. 1:08:58But this is the starting. This is the
  1282. 1:09:01beginning steps because if I start
  1283. 1:09:04giving you super difficult scenarios,
  1284. 1:09:07you'll be like, I don't know what I'm
  1285. 1:09:09doing. I'm lost.
  1286. 1:09:11And we got to take baby steps. Okay.
  1287. 1:09:16So, let's review the next question.
  1288. 1:09:24The nurse is caring for a seven-year-old
  1289. 1:09:26child who has undergone a cardiac
  1290. 1:09:28caization two hours ago. So, they're
  1291. 1:09:32giving us information about the child,
  1292. 1:09:35sevenyear-old.
  1293. 1:09:37The procedure was a cardiac calf two
  1294. 1:09:40hours ago, so
  1295. 1:09:42pretty recent.
  1296. 1:09:45And when the nurse
  1297. 1:09:48goes to see the patient, when the nurse
  1298. 1:09:51checks on the patient, she finds
  1299. 1:09:55the dressing and the bed saturated with
  1300. 1:09:59blood.
  1301. 1:10:03So we have a bleeding problem.
  1302. 1:10:07Saturation or saturated with blood means
  1303. 1:10:11bleeding.
  1304. 1:10:14What is the first
  1305. 1:10:17action to take?
  1306. 1:10:19Once again, we have assessment,
  1307. 1:10:23we have implementation,
  1308. 1:10:26we have implementation in letter C and
  1309. 1:10:30implementation. Calling the D.
  1310. 1:10:34See many students
  1311. 1:10:37they take the approach of calling the
  1312. 1:10:39doctor. It's the easiest thing to do.
  1313. 1:10:44However, learn this.
  1314. 1:10:47If you have a scenario
  1315. 1:10:51that you have an option to call the
  1316. 1:10:53doctor, ask this first.
  1317. 1:10:56Is there something that I can do?
  1318. 1:11:00Is there something within my scope of
  1319. 1:11:02practice that as a nurse I can do to
  1320. 1:11:07help the patient?
  1321. 1:11:09If your answer is yes, there is
  1322. 1:11:11something that you can do to help the
  1323. 1:11:14patient, do it before calling the
  1324. 1:11:17doctor.
  1325. 1:11:19In other words, in this scenario, if I
  1326. 1:11:23do A, B, or C,
  1327. 1:11:27does those answers help the patient? Yes
  1328. 1:11:31or no?
  1329. 1:11:32And yes, there is an answer that helps
  1330. 1:11:36the patient. So therefore, calling the
  1331. 1:11:39doctor is not my first intervention.
  1332. 1:11:46So I have A, B, and C.
  1333. 1:11:50I have an assessment answer that says
  1334. 1:11:52assess bioscience and I have two
  1335. 1:11:55implementation
  1336. 1:11:57answers.
  1337. 1:11:58And let's think about the
  1338. 1:12:01process of critical thinking. I told you
  1339. 1:12:06if it's [clears throat] an emergency do
  1340. 1:12:08not assess, you need to implement.
  1341. 1:12:11This is an emergency. The patient is
  1342. 1:12:13bleeding. There is saturated blood on
  1343. 1:12:16the dressing and on the bed.
  1344. 1:12:19We have to do something to
  1345. 1:12:23assist the patient with bleeding.
  1346. 1:12:24Therefore,
  1347. 1:12:26I will eliminate assessment of vital
  1348. 1:12:29signs. Now I have B and C.
  1349. 1:12:34Which answer B or C is going to help
  1350. 1:12:38stop the bleeding?
  1351. 1:12:42Letter C will help stop the bleeding.
  1352. 1:12:46Apply pressure to the catheter site will
  1353. 1:12:49help stop the bleeding. Therefore,
  1354. 1:12:53answer C is my first action over A, B,
  1355. 1:13:00and D.
  1356. 1:13:02All right, guys. If you haven't
  1357. 1:13:05subscribed to our channel yet, it is

  1361. 1:13:16the channel and you didn't have you
  1362. 1:13:18didn't have the right link, you couldn't
  1363. 1:13:20see the training today. So, it's very
  1364. 1:13:22important that each one of you is

  1398. 1:15:07I told you at the beginning, it was
  1399. 1:15:08going to be like that. It could take us
  1400. 1:15:10a little bit longer because I want to
  1401. 1:15:12make sure I finish the whole
  1402. 1:15:14presentation. It doesn't matter if it

  1408. 1:15:30this video recorded later on. Listen a
  1409. 1:15:34little bit more in detail, okay?
  1410. 1:15:38And really learn this uh critical
  1411. 1:15:40thinking that I'm trying to teach you.
  1412. 1:15:42Thank you uh God loved for the donation
  1413. 1:15:46for our YouTube channel. I appreciate
  1414. 1:15:48it.
  1415. 1:15:50Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
  1416. 1:15:54Uh Crystal, you can find the group in
  1417. 1:15:56the comment section on the video. Find
  1418. 1:15:59the comment section. It will be there on
  1419. 1:16:02the description. I think it's on the
  1420. 1:16:03description.
  1421. 1:16:07Julie, yes, we will do more selector
  1422. 1:16:10that applies.
  1423. 1:16:15Um I don't know if my advisor is here.
  1424. 1:16:18Can you share on the on the comment
  1425. 1:16:20section the the link for the telegram
  1426. 1:16:23group? So the students that are not
  1427. 1:16:25there they can join please.
  1428. 1:16:32Thank you Miss Aeli Monttero for the
  1429. 1:16:36donation. Thank you for supporting our
  1430. 1:16:38YouTube channel.
  1431. 1:16:57Marita SATA is it stands for select all
  1432. 1:17:02that apply. It's just an abbreviation
  1433. 1:17:05that student use.
  1434. 1:17:12Erh
  1435. 1:17:14Senate is there enough time to think
  1436. 1:17:16critically before answering the question
  1437. 1:17:18when taking the ENLEX? Yes, there's more
  1438. 1:17:20than enough time. Remember that it seems
  1439. 1:17:23that you're taking a long time now first
  1440. 1:17:26because I'm explaining it. So, it takes
  1441. 1:17:29longer to explain than to apply. And
  1442. 1:17:32also, as you develop your critical
  1443. 1:17:35thinking and you practice, you will do
  1444. 1:17:38it rather quickly. For example, a
  1445. 1:17:41prioritization question, I can analyze
  1446. 1:17:43it the right way with critical thinking
  1447. 1:17:46in two minutes, less than two minutes.
  1448. 1:17:48depends on the question, but it can be
  1449. 1:17:50done. And remember, you have several
  1450. 1:17:54hours to take the ENLEX, so you don't
  1451. 1:17:56you don't need to be rushing. Okay,
  1452. 1:18:01Miss Bonita Vlet, thank you for your
  1453. 1:18:05donation. Thank you for supporting our
  1454. 1:18:07YouTube channel.
  1455. 1:18:10Loise Brown, I don't really know how
  1456. 1:18:13it's done. I just see the students doing
  1457. 1:18:15it. I think there's like a there's like
  1458. 1:18:19a icon like a money icon or something
  1459. 1:18:22like that if you are connected to
  1460. 1:18:24YouTube. I don't I don't know if they
  1461. 1:18:26ask for your payment information. Like I
  1462. 1:18:28said, I've never done it, but I see the
  1463. 1:18:31students doing it all the time. Maybe if
  1464. 1:18:33somebody can explain on the on the chat
  1465. 1:18:35how to do it. That way the other
  1466. 1:18:38students that want to donate to the
  1467. 1:18:41channel, they can do it cuz I don't
  1468. 1:18:43really know how the process is to be
  1469. 1:18:45honest with you.
  1470. 1:18:52Yes. Everybody, please don't forget to
  1471. 1:18:54like the video. It's important. And
  1472. 1:18:57share the video with other nursing
  1473. 1:18:59students. Okay? Don't forget to do that.
  1474. 1:19:06All right, guys. So, I'm gonna take off.
  1475. 1:19:07Thank you for being here. See you
  1476. 1:19:09tomorrow at 5:00 PM Eastern Standard
  1477. 1:19:12Time. Day three of our ENLEX training.
  1478. 1:19:16God bless you. Take care. Bye-bye.
