How to PASS the NCLEX [7 Day Training] Day #2 NCLEX CATEGORIES PART I — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:01All right. So, let's begin. This is the
- 0:04agenda for our 7-day training.
- 0:07Yesterday, we did our first day of the
- 0:10training and basically we focused on
- 0:14understanding the ENLEX world and we
- 0:17talked about pillars, pillars of success
- 0:21that will help you and aid you into
- 0:24passing the ENLEX. On day number two,
- 0:28we're going to talk about ENLEX
- 0:31category. So today, tomorrow, and day
- 0:36four, we're going to be talking about
- 0:39ENLEX categories.
- 0:42Okay? You're going to know each
- 0:44category.
- 0:46What do you need to show the ENLEX in
- 0:50order to prove that you're a safe nurse
- 0:52in each one of those categories? And the
- 0:55best of all, we're going to practice
- 0:57enclelex style questions. All right, so
- 1:00it's going to be very very interesting.
- 1:05Day two agenda, we're going to talk
- 1:07about the distribution of ENLEX content.
- 1:11We're going to talk about how to master
- 1:14physiological integrity
- 1:17and the subcategories included in
- 1:20physiological integrity which includes
- 1:23basic care and comfort, pharmacological
- 1:26and parental therapies and reduction of
- 1:30risk potential. And in each category
- 1:33today we are going to practice enclelex
- 1:37style questions. So we're going to
- 1:39practice about two question for each
- 1:41category and then tomorrow we will
- 1:44continue with the other enclelex
- 1:47categories.
- 1:49All right, thank you for everyone that
- 1:52showed up yesterday supporting our
- 1:54channel. Thank you for that. And today
- 1:57we're going to get into uh deeper waters
- 2:00and we're going to start developing that
- 2:03critical thinking and your ability to
- 2:06answer ENLEX style questions. When we
- 2:09talk about the distribution of content
- 2:11for the ENCLEX, we have several
- 2:15categories and subcategories.
- 2:19And each one of these categories has a
- 2:22percentage of questions that you can see
- 2:25on the ENLEX. For example, if we look on
- 2:28the upper left, physiological
- 2:31adaptation, you can see about 14% of the
- 2:35ENLEX questions related to physiological
- 2:39adaptation.
- 2:41What does this represent? Basically if
- 2:44you do a 100 question enlex you could
- 2:48see about 14 questions on the enlex on
- 2:52physiological adaptation
- 2:55we see that reduction of risk potential
- 2:58is 12% pharmacological and parental
- 3:02therapies 15% basic care and comfort 9%
- 3:07psychosocial integrity 9% health
- 3:11promotion and maintenance
- 3:139%
- 3:14safe and infection control or safety and
- 3:18infection control 12% and management of
- 3:22care 20%. So as you can see the biggest
- 3:26categories are management of care,
- 3:30physiological adaptation and
- 3:32pharmarmacological and parental
- 3:35therapies. But do not worry, we are
- 3:37going to discuss each one of them and
- 3:40we're going to practice questions
- 3:42together. So no more delays. Let's begin
- 3:46with basic care and comfort.
- 3:49So Rey, what do you what do I have to
- 3:52show the ENLEX
- 3:55in order to prove them that I I am a
- 3:58safe nurse when it comes to basic care
- 4:01and comfort? Basically, you have to show
- 4:04the ability to provide comfort and
- 4:08assistance with activities of daily
- 4:12living. Now guys, this comes directly
- 4:16from NCSBN. My wife and I, we have been
- 4:20to several yearly meetings for NCBN and
- 4:24we've had the opportunity to sit there
- 4:27and ask questions and it has been very
- 4:31very useful for us in order to prepare
- 4:35our content to teach our students
- 4:38and basically accordingly to the NCSBN
- 4:42ENLEX these topics are included in basic
- 4:47care and comfort. Thank you Mr. Mixel
- 4:52Linarees for supporting our YouTube
- 4:55channel. We appreciate it. So these
- 4:58subtopics or topics are included in
- 5:02basic care and comfort. Assist the
- 5:05client to compensate for physical and
- 5:09sensory impairment.
- 5:11These type of questions deals with
- 5:13assistive devices,
- 5:16positioning and compensatory techniques.
- 5:20Also, you're going to see assessment and
- 5:23manage management of client with
- 5:25alteration in elimination,
- 5:28performing irrigations,
- 5:31apply, maintain and remove orthopedics
- 5:34devices, implement measures to promote
- 5:37circulation and so on. I'm not going to
- 5:42read each one of this because you can
- 5:44read by yourself. But what I want you to
- 5:46do is write this down. And as you use
- 5:50your resources to study for the ENLEX
- 5:53like the Sanders book for example like I
- 5:56shared with you guys yesterday
- 5:58what I encourage is that each one of you
- 6:01use the Sanders book or whatever other
- 6:03book that you have nursing book and
- 6:06review and study each one of these
- 6:10topics. Now remember the key is not to
- 6:16memorize it but understand it. Um the
- 6:21photo is a little bit small. I don't
- 6:23know if you have like a tablet or or a
- 6:26phone you can zoom in and see it a
- 6:29little bit better. But also this is not
- 6:32something that I created. You can find
- 6:34it on ncsbn.org
- 6:37or if you type on Google
- 6:41Enclelex test plan the last revision was
- 6:45done in 2019
- 6:48so use that Google and go NCSBN enclelex
- 6:53test plan download it and you're going
- 6:56to see what is included in each one of
- 7:00those categories
- 7:02guys everything is out there I'm not
- 7:05making this up is information that NCSBN
- 7:09provides to professors and every
- 7:13candidate that is presenting to the
- 7:16ENLEX.
- 7:18Okay. So what I want to do next I want
- 7:21to practice some questions. Okay. So
- 7:24let's practice two questions about basic
- 7:28care and comfort. So this is question
- 7:31number one. And as I am reading this
- 7:34question and highlighting or indicating
- 7:38specific keywords which you learned
- 7:41yesterday, remember the five key factors
- 7:44of an enclelex question. If you don't
- 7:46know what I'm talking about, find day
- 7:49one, day one training of our 7-day
- 7:52training and you're going to hear the
- 7:55five key factors of an ENLEX question.
- 7:59So as I review this question, think
- 8:02about the question and comment on the
- 8:06comment section what you think is the
- 8:08answer. Okay? And why why do you think
- 8:11that is the answer? That is the most
- 8:14important thing to do. That way I can
- 8:16read and I can see what is your thinking
- 8:20process. Okay. So the male client is
- 8:23diagnosed with Gileian Beret syndrome
- 8:26and is in the intensive care unit on a
- 8:30ventilator. So in this question we don't
- 8:34have a lot of information about our
- 8:37client. The only thing we know that is a
- 8:40male client. We have a diagnosis which
- 8:44is Gileian Beret
- 8:47and the patient is in the intensive care
- 8:50unit on a ventilator.
- 8:54This is important
- 8:57because knowing that the patient is on a
- 9:00ventilator can tell you about the
- 9:03seriousness of this patient's condition.
- 9:08Thank you, Mr. Jorge Martinez, for
- 9:10supporting our channel. I appreciate it.
- 9:14Now read the next question. It says,
- 9:17"Which cardiovascular
- 9:21rationale explains implementing passive
- 9:26range of motion exercises.
- 9:31Cardiovascular
- 9:33rationale.
- 9:35So the answer that you're looking for
- 9:38needs to have a relationship with card
- 9:43the cardiova cardiovascular system.
- 9:47So if you're looking at the answer and
- 9:49it's not related to the cardiovascular
- 9:52system is the wrong answer. The mistake
- 9:55that student make in this question here
- 9:59is that they automatically go and think
- 10:02about passive range of motion exercise.
- 10:06And yes, that is a an important factor
- 10:09of the question. But the answer that
- 10:12we're looking for, the rationale has to
- 10:15do with the cardiovascular system.
- 10:18So let's review answer number one. It
- 10:20says passive range of mo passive range
- 10:24of motion exercises will prevent
- 10:27contractions from developing.
- 10:31And yes, answer number one is a good
- 10:35answer because it is true passive range
- 10:39of motion exercise help prevent
- 10:42contractions from developing. However,
- 10:45this is a muscularkeeletal complication,
- 10:49not a cardiovascular
- 10:52complication.
- 10:53So, we can eliminate answer number one.
- 10:56And once again, I am using the process
- 10:59of elimination.
- 11:02Answer number two, the client will feel
- 11:05better if he is able to exercise and
- 11:10stretch his muscles.
- 11:13Well, let's think about this one here.
- 11:17The patient is on a ventilator.
- 11:21What this means is that you know in
- 11:23Gileiam we have ascending paralysis. So
- 11:28if a patient is on a ventilator the
- 11:32ascending paralysis reach the
- 11:36respiratory muscles.
- 11:38So we're looking at a serious condition.
- 11:41So this patient will not be able to
- 11:44exercise and stretch his muscles. That
- 11:48will be active range of motion and we're
- 11:52talking about passive range of motion.
- 11:56So answer number two, we can eliminate.
- 12:01Answer number three,
- 12:04range of motion exercise will help
- 12:08alleviate the pain associated with
- 12:12Gileian Beret. Well, as in number three,
- 12:16we can eliminate for two reasons. One,
- 12:19it would not alleviate the pain and two,
- 12:24it has nothing to do with the
- 12:26cardiovascular system. So answer number
- 12:29three is eliminated.
- 12:33Answer number four passive range of
- 12:36motion help to prevent
- 12:40DVTs
- 12:42deep vein trombosis
- 12:45by movement of the blood through the
- 12:48veins. So are we talking about the
- 12:53cardiovascular system? Is number four a
- 12:57cardiovascular rational of why we will
- 13:01be implementing passive range of motion?
- 13:05The answer is yes. So answer number four
- 13:10is the correct answer.
- 13:14I don't know if you are paying attention
- 13:17from day one from since yesterday you
- 13:20have been listening to me on how I
- 13:24analyze enclelex question and you're
- 13:27going to see something very important. I
- 13:30analyze the question the same way. It
- 13:35doesn't matter if it's a content
- 13:37question. It doesn't matter if it's a
- 13:40prioritization question. The most
- 13:42important thing for you to do is first
- 13:46identify the key factors of an enclelex
- 13:49question and then start analyzing answer
- 13:53by answer using the process of
- 13:56elimination. So you are not looking for
- 13:59the correct answer, you're looking for
- 14:01an incorrect answer to eliminate. Would
- 14:05you agree that is not the same selecting
- 14:08the right answer in four answer choices?
- 14:11Then if you eliminate two of them and
- 14:13now you're in between two answer
- 14:15choices. Now what is the usual problem?
- 14:20Students analyze eliminate and then they
- 14:24get to two possible answers and most
- 14:28times they choose the wrong answer. And
- 14:32that is okay. It's one step at a time.
- 14:35Throughout the training you will
- 14:37continue to develop your critical
- 14:38thinking and you will you will select
- 14:42the correct answer more often. Okay. So
- 14:48answer number four is the correct
- 14:50answer. Let's look at another question.
- 14:56This question says after a prostatectomy
- 15:01a client is diagnosed with a major
- 15:03complication of hemorrhage and hypoalmic
- 15:08shock. Which of the following is the
- 15:11initial nursing action? There's a few
- 15:15keywords here that are extremely
- 15:17important. The condition prostatctomy.
- 15:21There's not a lot of information about
- 15:23the client.
- 15:25The client was diagnosed with a major
- 15:27complication of hemorrhage and
- 15:30hypovalmic shock. So we know that this
- 15:33patient is bleeding. This patient has a
- 15:36physiological need regarding airway,
- 15:41breathing, circulation as specifically
- 15:45circulation. So we know that the
- 15:47client's problem is a circulatory
- 15:50problem.
- 15:52Which of the following is the initial?
- 15:55The word initial tells me that I'm
- 15:58looking for the first answer. We have
- 16:03monitor vital signs, administer a vaso
- 16:07dilator to improve the client's blood
- 16:09pressure, administer intravenous fluids,
- 16:13and record intake and output.
- 16:17What an interesting scenario. And answer
- 16:20number one or a monitor vital signs is
- 16:24an answer that I see very often. Okay.
- 16:28Now, are we going to be doing an
- 16:31assessment like answer number one or are
- 16:36we going to be doing an implementation
- 16:39like answer number or letter C
- 16:43administer IV fluids?
- 16:46What is the priority action? What is the
- 16:49initial nursing action? Let's use the
- 16:53critical thinking.
- 16:56If you analyze this scenario, you have
- 16:59determined that this is an emergency.
- 17:02And in emergency scenarios, are you
- 17:06thinking about doing an assessment or an
- 17:08implementation?
- 17:11If your patient is in distress, do not
- 17:15assess, implement. in most cases. So I'm
- 17:20looking for an implementation. So answer
- 17:23A I can eliminate because this is an
- 17:25assessment.
- 17:27Recording the intake and output,
- 17:30administering IV fluids and
- 17:32administering a vaso dilator. They are
- 17:34implementation answers. Now I can
- 17:38continue using
- 17:40critical thinking and we have two
- 17:43answers that are related to another.
- 17:48For example, the administration of vasod
- 17:51dilator and the administration of IV
- 17:55fluids.
- 17:57Each one of these answers is going to do
- 18:00a different effect on the circulatory
- 18:03system. For example, if I administer a
- 18:08vessel dilator,
- 18:10what is that going to do to the blood
- 18:13pressure? Is it going to increase the
- 18:17blood pressure or is it going to
- 18:20decrease the blood pressure? And
- 18:23remember that the patient is in
- 18:26hypoalimic
- 18:27shock. So the patient is going to be
- 18:31hypotensive.
- 18:33The patient is in shock. So I need to do
- 18:36something that increases the blood
- 18:39pressure.
- 18:42A vessel dilator
- 18:44will decrease the patient's blood
- 18:47pressure further and will cause more
- 18:51problem.
- 18:53B is eliminated.
- 18:56Now, administering IV fluids, is that
- 19:01going to help with hemorrhage? Yes. Is
- 19:05that going to help with hypoalmic shock?
- 19:08Yes.
- 19:10So, letter C is a very good answer.
- 19:15And D, recording the intake and output.
- 19:19Do we record intake and output in a
- 19:21patient that is in a hypoalmic shock?
- 19:24Yes. Is it the priority? Well, very
- 19:27simple. Ask this question.
- 19:31Between letters C and D, which answer
- 19:35helps the patient's condition?
- 19:39Administering fluids or documentation?
- 19:44Obviously, administration of fluids is
- 19:47going to help the patient more. Remember
- 19:51documenting is your last action to take.
- 19:56You document once you have done
- 19:59everything
- 20:00that you can do to help the patient.
- 20:05Does it make sense? Okay. Are you
- 20:09learning? Is that critical thinking
- 20:12improving?
- 20:13Are you starting to see different things
- 20:16that you were not seeing before?
- 20:19I hope the answer is yes. And this is
- 20:22only the beginning, day two of a whole 7
- 20:27day training. You will learn a lot. And
- 20:30like I said, on the first day, you will
- 20:33never think about an endless question
- 20:35the same way. Thank you, Miss Betty
- 20:38Delgado, for supporting our our channel.
- 20:42And thank you, Miss Alejandra Alexandra
- 20:45Tronoso for supporting our YouTube
- 20:49channel. I appreciate it.
- 20:56All right, Lester Lester asks a great
- 21:00question.
- 21:01Professor,
- 21:03can I administer IV fluids without a
- 21:07doctor's order? Excellent question. And
- 21:11here's the answer. Remember this for the
- 21:14ENLEX.
- 21:16It is assumed that you have a doctor's
- 21:20order. In other words, you do not have
- 21:24to say, "Well, let me call the doctor
- 21:26first to ask the doctor if it is okay to
- 21:30administer IV fluids." You have an order
- 21:33already. What you have to do is say does
- 21:37administering IV fluids is it going to
- 21:39help my patient with this condition yes
- 21:43or no. If the answer is yes go ahead and
- 21:46do it. You have the right order. That is
- 21:49a very important question and I am glad
- 21:53Lester that you asked that question.
- 22:03Mercy, you make Enkllex seem simple.
- 22:06I wouldn't say it's simple. It's just
- 22:09that it is easier for you to
- 22:13analyze the question. Because if you
- 22:16think about what is easy or hard, simple
- 22:20or difficult, it depends on who's
- 22:22analyzing it. If you're prepared, if you
- 22:26study, if you develop your critical
- 22:28thinking, you're going to say, "Ah, this
- 22:30is very simple." But if you're not
- 22:32prepared, you don't know how to
- 22:34prioritize, you don't know how to think
- 22:36critically, you're going to see it very
- 22:38difficult. So, it depends on who's
- 22:41analyzing.
- 22:43Thank you, Miss Loose Rodriguez, for
- 22:46supporting our channel with that uh
- 22:50super chat, super sticker. Excellent.
- 22:54All right. Well, that's a little bit
- 22:57about basic care and comfort. Let's go
- 23:00to
- 23:02pharmarmacology.
- 23:04Pharmarmacological and parental theapy.
- 23:08You have to show the enlex that you have
- 23:10the ability to provide appropriate care
- 23:15in relationship to the administration of
- 23:19medications.
- 23:21What are the topics that are included in
- 23:25pharmarmacological and parental therapy?
- 23:28We have adverse effect, blood products,
- 23:32blood transfusion, centravenous access
- 23:36devices, dosage calculation,
- 23:39expected versus side effect, medication
- 23:42administration guidelines and rights,
- 23:45parental and intravenous therapies,
- 23:48pharmacological actions and agent,
- 23:51pharmarmacological interactions,
- 23:53pharmarmacological pain management and
- 23:56TPN or Toro Parental Nutrition.
- 24:01Thank you, Mr. Ismael
- 24:04Ramirez. Thank you for supporting our
- 24:07YouTube channel.
- 24:11Very good, Jasmine.
- 24:14Thank you, Miss Auka.
- 24:17You're an amazing teacher. I appreciate
- 24:19it. Very humble. I am very glad that you
- 24:23guys are enjoying this uh training.
- 24:26Okay.
- 24:28Very good. So why is pharmarmacology so
- 24:33difficult? Pharmarmacology is one of the
- 24:36most difficult nursing content areas to
- 24:39master.
- 24:41The reason is that there are an enormous
- 24:45number of medications available.
- 24:49A vast amount of information to know
- 24:53about each medication.
- 24:57And this is what I think.
- 25:01I don't think it's possible to learn all
- 25:05the medications, to learn all the side
- 25:08effects, all the adverse effects, the
- 25:11intended effect of every medication.
- 25:15It's impossible to learn all that. And
- 25:18that is the problem.
- 25:20But what can we do to deal with this
- 25:24problem?
- 25:26Because if we focus on the problem,
- 25:28we're done. If we try to find the
- 25:31solution, then we have a chance.
- 25:34So what can we do? And very often
- 25:39student ask me, professor, is there a
- 25:42list of medications
- 25:46that appears on the anklex? The answer
- 25:50is no.
- 25:52Don't spend money buying a list of
- 25:55medication guide that comes up on the
- 25:58ENLEX because you know what nobody
- 26:01knows. Nobody knows exactly
- 26:05what questions are going to appear on
- 26:07your ENLEX exam. However, there are
- 26:11certain medications or medication
- 26:14categories that appear very often. For
- 26:17example, emergency drugs.
- 26:21Emergency drugs that you give when a
- 26:23patient is having airway, breathing,
- 26:26circulation problem. If the patient is
- 26:29on cardiac arrest, what medications do
- 26:31you give? anti anti-coagulants,
- 26:34antibiotics,
- 26:38medications like heperin, medications
- 26:41like couadin,
- 26:44insulin
- 26:46and on other trainings we will go a
- 26:48little bit more in depth about
- 26:50pharmarmacology because I tell you I can
- 26:53do a seven day training just on
- 26:57pharmarmacology and it will probably not
- 27:00be enough.
- 27:02So we will continue to discuss that in
- 27:05future trainings. But understand this,
- 27:09focus on the emergency drugs. Focus on
- 27:14medications that you use in emergency
- 27:16situations and also known high risk
- 27:21medications.
- 27:23Okay. Also antidotes. They're very
- 27:26important for the enklex.
- 27:29So another question that I see students
- 27:32asking is what do I have to study
- 27:37generic or brand names? Do I have to
- 27:41know the generic names or brand names of
- 27:46medication? And that is a very very
- 27:50frequent and common question that I see
- 27:53in students. Thank you Mr. Lester
- 27:57Pinata.
- 27:59for that uh super sticker. I appreciate
- 28:01it. Thank you, Miss Yolanda Pantoas for
- 28:05supporting our YouTube channel. Thank
- 28:08you.
- 28:12H Areli, you should do professor a 7day
- 28:15training on pharmarmacology. That would
- 28:17be amazing.
- 28:19Hey, maybe we can do that. If everybody
- 28:22wants to do that, we'll do it. We'll
- 28:24find another time to do another seven
- 28:27day training. Like I said, I really want
- 28:31to help you guys out. I think that
- 28:34you all of you need a lot of help. And
- 28:37if I can do something to to support and
- 28:40help the community, I am willing to do
- 28:43that here in our in our YouTube channel,
- 28:47help other people at the same time. my
- 28:50channel grows as well and the academy
- 28:53grows. So, I think we help each other
- 28:56out. So, we will we will do that. No, no
- 28:59problem.
- 29:00Thank you, Miss Elizabeth Salana, for uh
- 29:04supporting our YouTube channel. So, what
- 29:07do I have to learn, Professor Generic
- 29:11or brand drug names? Well, accordingly
- 29:15to the NCSBN
- 29:18at this time,
- 29:20they will use generic medication names
- 29:25only.
- 29:27However, in certain scenarios, they
- 29:30could use a brand name, but if they do
- 29:34use a brand name, they will give you the
- 29:38generic name as well.
- 29:42So if I if I were you, I would study the
- 29:46generic medications. And the reason is
- 29:49because for one generic medication, you
- 29:52could see five 10 different brand names.
- 29:56And you're not going to have time to
- 29:59learn all those brand names. So I am
- 30:02glad that the NCPN the ENLEX made that
- 30:06decision to only include generic names
- 30:09and not brand names.
- 30:14All right. So let's talk about
- 30:17assessment when it comes to
- 30:19pharmarmacology
- 30:20because as you know accordingly to the
- 30:24nursing process assessment is the first
- 30:27step of the nursing pro process. Do not
- 30:30confuse that with that assessment is the
- 30:32priority all the time. That is a big
- 30:35mistake. Assessment is the first step of
- 30:39the nursing process but is not always
- 30:42the priority. That is an assumption that
- 30:45you cannot make. It depends on the
- 30:48scenario. But let's talk about
- 30:50assessment
- 30:51and pharmarmacology.
- 30:54One of the most important assessment to
- 30:56do is assessment of allergies and hyper
- 31:00sensitivity to medications.
- 31:03Many medications
- 31:05clients can develop allergic reactions.
- 31:09So this it is very important to ask and
- 31:12determine in the client's clinical
- 31:14record if the patient has an allergy to
- 31:18a certain medication group.
- 31:21It is important to assess the client for
- 31:24any existing medical disorders that
- 31:27would be contraindicated in the
- 31:30administration of a certain medication.
- 31:36Assess for potential interactions
- 31:39related to medication. In other words,
- 31:42if the patient takes over-the-counter
- 31:44medication, does it interact with a
- 31:48prescription medication?
- 31:51Is there any contraindications
- 31:53or potential interactions between a
- 31:57prescribed medication and let's say uh a
- 32:02tea that a patient takes or herbal
- 32:05remedies
- 32:08assessment of laboratory results.
- 32:12For example, if you're giving potassium,
- 32:15if you're giving magnesium,
- 32:18you need to check the laboratory results
- 32:21because otherwise you can give a patient
- 32:24a medication that you can cause damage
- 32:28to that patient. You can injure that
- 32:31patient. For example, there are certain
- 32:34medications like let's mention one of
- 32:37them heperin
- 32:40kumadin. you have to check certain lab
- 32:44values and I don't know if you know the
- 32:46answer to that. So what is the lab value
- 32:49that you have to check if you will
- 32:53administer or you are administering
- 32:56heperin to a patient that is a good and
- 33:00clicks question.
- 33:02What is the lab value that you have to
- 33:07assess if you're giving a patient
- 33:10warerin or kumadin?
- 33:14Let me see the chat. What do you think?
- 33:19Let me see if if I have a sharp group
- 33:23today, tonight.
- 33:29See, Janette says PTT
- 33:35and PT INR.
- 33:42Okay. Jaspine says PTT for heperin,
- 33:46PTIR
- 33:47for kumadin.
- 33:53All right. Excellent. So you have to
- 33:56know the relationship between laboratory
- 33:59results and medication. Also vital
- 34:03signs. For example, if you are
- 34:06administering an anti-hypertensive drug,
- 34:09you're giving a medic a medication for
- 34:11high blood pressure. So, what is a vital
- 34:15sign that I have to assess? Well, I have
- 34:19to assess the blood pressure. If I am
- 34:22giving a medication that uh interacts
- 34:25with the heart rate of the patient, for
- 34:27example, if I'm giving a beta blocker, I
- 34:30have to assess the patient's pulse. If
- 34:33I'm giving dioxin, I have to assess the
- 34:37patient's pulse. So you have to know the
- 34:40relationship between vital signs that
- 34:43you have to assess and a medication
- 34:47administration.
- 34:50You have to assess for intended effect,
- 34:54side effect, adverse effect and toxic
- 34:57effect of medication. And there is a
- 35:01difference between these subjects.
- 35:05Intended side effect, adverse effect and
- 35:08toxic effect are not the same. We will
- 35:11talk about that in the next few minutes.
- 35:15Thank you Miss Beverly Kalana
- 35:20for
- 35:21that super sticker. Thank you for
- 35:24supporting
- 35:26our YouTube channel. I appreciate it.
- 35:29All right. So you have to read the
- 35:32question carefully and identify first
- 35:36the key factors of an enclelex question
- 35:39but also you have to think about
- 35:42something very particular to medication.
- 35:46Okay we know about
- 35:49reviewing and identifying demographic
- 35:52information such as age and gender. Who
- 35:55is your patient? What is your patient's
- 35:58medical history, family history? But now
- 36:03with medication administration, we have
- 36:05to add something else.
- 36:07Allergies to medications.
- 36:10And we're going to add something else.
- 36:13Do I have information on the stem of the
- 36:16question that talks about vital signs?
- 36:20That talks about laboratory results.
- 36:24Remember if you see that on the stem of
- 36:27the question you see a medication
- 36:31is there for a reason. Now you have to
- 36:34think a little bit more in depth. When
- 36:37you are reviewing and identifying the
- 36:41key factors of the ENLEX question it's a
- 36:44little bit more advanced in
- 36:46pharmarmacology.
- 36:47Look for keywords such as intended side
- 36:51effect or adverse effect. But watch out.
- 36:55Sometimes it does not include intended
- 36:59side effect or adverse effect or toxic
- 37:01effect. But this sentence describes an
- 37:06intended side effect, adverse effect or
- 37:08toxic effect. And most important,
- 37:12continue to use the process of
- 37:15elimination and critical thinking
- 37:17strategies to answer the question. I
- 37:20will tell you when I took the anklex
- 37:23I had a lot of difficulties in
- 37:26pharmarmacology. I had three problems
- 37:30and maybe somebody can uh can relate to
- 37:34me. I had pharmarmacology problem. I had
- 37:37maternity problem and I had nutrition
- 37:40problem. I don't know why but I
- 37:44struggled greatly with each one of these
- 37:47topics that I just mentioned. I'm
- 37:49talking several years ago.
- 37:53What did I do? I knew that I couldn't
- 37:57develop content overnight and I didn't
- 38:01have much time to prepare for the ENLEX.
- 38:03I had a family that I had to support and
- 38:05I needed to pass the ENLEX quickly. So,
- 38:08I studied for a month, that's it. I
- 38:10didn't have more time and I did the best
- 38:13I could to develop the critical thinking
- 38:16and the critical thinking and
- 38:18prioritization strategy helped me
- 38:21overcome the lack of knowledge that I
- 38:24had in certain areas.
- 38:27Like I said yesterday, I'm not saying
- 38:30don't study, throw the book away. What I
- 38:33am saying is that if you develop this
- 38:36that I'm telling you critical thinking
- 38:37and strategies you will do okay but you
- 38:41have to use both in combination
- 38:45content and the application of nursing
- 38:48knowledge with critical thinking.
- 38:51So let's go into further detail about
- 38:54intended effect toxic effect adverse
- 38:57effect and side effect.
- 39:03If you know the difference between these
- 39:06four
- 39:08subjects, you will learn to respond most
- 39:13of pharmarmacology and cllex question.
- 39:17And I'll tell you this,
- 39:19if you develop this strategy that I'm
- 39:22going to teach you next, you will be
- 39:25able to answer some pharmarmacology
- 39:28questions even without knowing the drug
- 39:33because sometimes the drug is irrelevant
- 39:37to the question and the reason of why
- 39:41the question was created.
- 39:44For example, if I'm talking about what
- 39:47is the most important action to take and
- 39:51one of the answers says ask the patient
- 39:54for allergies,
- 39:57does it really matter what the
- 39:59medication is? If one answer says call
- 40:04the doctor, the other answer says give
- 40:06the medication in the morning. The other
- 40:09one says h check the pulse. And the last
- 40:12answer says, ask the patient for
- 40:15allergies of this medication.
- 40:18Do you really need to know the drug
- 40:21category? Do you really need to know
- 40:23everything there is to be known about
- 40:25that medication to answer that question?
- 40:28No. Because the question is a safety
- 40:30question. The question is you have to
- 40:33ask the patient for allergies to
- 40:36medications. Because guess what? If the
- 40:39patient has allergy to that medication,
- 40:42I will not be giving that medication.
- 40:45So, is it relevant to call the doctor
- 40:47first? Is it relevant to check for the
- 40:49pulse? Is it relevant to check for the
- 40:52blood pressure or whatever? So, what I'm
- 40:55saying is if you are reviewing an ENLEX
- 40:59question that has to do with
- 41:00pharmarmacology and you look at the
- 41:04medication and you say, "Oh my god, I
- 41:06don't know that medication." Do not give
- 41:08up. Continue reading. Continue using
- 41:12your critical thinking and see where you
- 41:15get because it is better to use critical
- 41:18thinking than to say I don't know A B C
- 41:20D C. Okay? Don't do that the day of your
- 41:24exam.
- 41:26So let's learn about the difference
- 41:30between intended side effect and adverse
- 41:33effect. An intended effect is the
- 41:36desired
- 41:37and expected effect of a medication.
- 41:43For example, if I give a patient
- 41:46morphine sulfate,
- 41:49the intended effect that I want out of
- 41:52this medication in a patient that has
- 41:55pain is to relieve the pain. that is the
- 42:00intended effect or reason of why I'm
- 42:05giving a medication.
- 42:08On the other hand,
- 42:11when we talk about a side effect
- 42:15is a physiological effect of the
- 42:17medication that is unrelated to the
- 42:21intended medication effect.
- 42:25It is something that the patient
- 42:27[clears throat]
- 42:28sorry could experience
- 42:32after administering a medication.
- 42:38Okay. So a side effect is a
- 42:42physiological effect of a medication
- 42:44that is unrelated to the intended
- 42:48medication effect. An example of this,
- 42:51let's say you're giving a patient an
- 42:53antihistamine medication. What is a
- 42:57known side effect? Drossiness.
- 43:00You're not giving the antihistamine to
- 43:03produce drossiness. That is a side
- 43:06effect.
- 43:08Now when we talk about side effects and
- 43:10I see books making these mistakes all
- 43:13the time
- 43:15they confuse side effect and adverse
- 43:18effect. It's not the same thing.
- 43:22side effect
- 43:24is usually not lifethreatening
- 43:30and usually
- 43:33you can relieve or alleviate
- 43:36the discomfort associated with that
- 43:39medication very easy. In other words, a
- 43:43side effect is a an effect of the
- 43:47medication that is unwanted,
- 43:50but that effect does not cause okay is
- 43:55not going to injure my patient greatly.
- 43:59It's not going to cause a lifealtering
- 44:03condition.
- 44:06And I'll give you an example.
- 44:09Let's say you give a patient morphine
- 44:12sulfate. We talked about morphine
- 44:14sulfate already.
- 44:16We talked about the intended effect
- 44:18being to relieve pain.
- 44:22But what is a common and expected side
- 44:25effect? Constipation.
- 44:30Can you treat constipation rather easy?
- 44:33Yes. Increase fiber and more water
- 44:36intake.
- 44:38So yes is a expected side effect of the
- 44:42medication an unwanted one but does not
- 44:46cause lifealtering injuries to the
- 44:49patient. It can be taken care of easily.
- 44:54On the contrary, an adverse effect
- 44:59is more severe side effect and always
- 45:05has an undesirable effect. For example,
- 45:09let's talk about sulfanomide.
- 45:13A an adverse effect is hyper sensitivity
- 45:17to that medication. If a patient is
- 45:19allergic to it, the patient can have
- 45:22rash, fever, and shortness of breath.
- 45:26Another example is anaphilaxis.
- 45:29It's an adverse effect and it cannot be
- 45:32treated easily.
- 45:34A side effect can be treated easily. An
- 45:37adverse effect cannot be treated easily.
- 45:42And we probably need a health care
- 45:44provider, a nursing intervention to help
- 45:48the patient with that adverse reaction
- 45:52otherwise the patient could die very
- 45:56very soon.
- 45:58So, as you're reviewing a
- 46:00pharmarmacology question and they tell
- 46:03you which of the following
- 46:05um side effects is expected in this
- 46:09medication,
- 46:10you're going to be thinking, okay, a
- 46:12side effect is something common that a
- 46:15patient can experience,
- 46:18but it's something that can be treated
- 46:20easily and is not going to cause
- 46:24lifealtering situations on the patient.
- 46:27On the contrary, if it says which of the
- 46:30following is an adverse effect of the
- 46:32medication, then you're looking at
- 46:34something serious, something that if you
- 46:37don't treat very quickly, the patient
- 46:40could experience a lifethreatening
- 46:42condition.
- 46:44Thank you, Miss Jel Nunes, for the super
- 46:51chat sticker. Thank you for supporting
- 46:54our channel.
- 46:58All right.
- 47:02So, this is getting very interesting.
- 47:04We're going to continue practicing a few
- 47:07more questions. I hope that you are
- 47:09excited about day two of our past the
- 47:13Enclelex step-by-step 7day training.
- 47:17What do you think so far? If you've
- 47:20liked what have you heard so far, what
- 47:22have you seen so far? Go ahead and click
- 47:25the like button on this video. Help me
- 47:30with YouTube algorithm. Show YouTube
- 47:33that this training is beneficial to you
- 47:36and to other nurses. Help me by liking
- 47:40this video. And also share this video
- 47:43with other nurses. But don't go
- 47:45anywhere. We're not done. We're going to
- 47:48continue practicing some questions
- 47:51together. We're going to take everything
- 47:53that I've said so far about
- 47:55pharmarmacology and see it on an
- 47:58enclelex style question.
- 48:01Uh S. Awesome. Mr. Patel, yes. Thank
- 48:06you, sir.
- 48:08H best one ever. Darlene, I'm learning a
- 48:12lot. Excellent.
- 48:15Luis Brown, I love it.
- 48:19Awesome. Thank you for the support.
- 48:24Miss Mara, very beneficial. Thank you so
- 48:27much.
- 48:31Miss Ariana Morales, thank you for the
- 48:34donation. Thank you for supporting our
- 48:36YouTube channel. I appreciate it.
- 48:41Miss Deborah, h thanks a lot. Thank you,
- 48:44too.
- 48:47All right. Excellent. So, let's
- 48:49continue. Let's review a question
- 48:52together.
- 48:54It says, "The nurse notes that the
- 48:57primary healthc care provider has
- 48:59prescribed sulfamethasol
- 49:02and trimetrop
- 49:04for a client. Which priority action
- 49:07should the n should the nurse take
- 49:10before administering
- 49:12this medication?
- 49:15Which priority action?"
- 49:18So which priority action means that this
- 49:21is a priority question should the nurse
- 49:25take before
- 49:27administering this medication.
- 49:30So there's not a whole lot of
- 49:33information about the patient. All we
- 49:35know is a medication that was prescribed
- 49:38and we have to take an action before
- 49:42giving the medication.
- 49:47So, ask the client about an allergy.
- 49:52Call the pharmacy to obtain the
- 49:54medication.
- 49:56Inform the client about the need to
- 49:58increase fluid intake.
- 50:00Check the medication supply room to find
- 50:03out whether the medication needs to be
- 50:05obtained from the pharmacy.
- 50:07Wow, what an interesting scenario.
- 50:12So, what is my priority action in this
- 50:15scenario? Answer number one
- 50:18says ask the client about allergy. So
- 50:21what is answer number one has to do with
- 50:24one the patient.
- 50:27Two safety
- 50:31medication
- 50:33safety.
- 50:36What about answer number two? Call the
- 50:38pharmacy to obtain the medication. This
- 50:41deals with the medication. Answer
- 50:46number three, inform the client about
- 50:49the need to increase fluid intake. Wait
- 50:52a second.
- 50:54So, we have a situation.
- 50:57The stem of the questions says, "What is
- 51:00the priority before giving the
- 51:02medication? Do I really have to be
- 51:04teaching the patient about increasing
- 51:06fluid intake now? Can I do that later
- 51:09on?" Yes. So, that's not my priority.
- 51:13Answer
- 51:15number four, check the medication supply
- 51:18rooms. In other words, check the room,
- 51:21find out about the medication. So, we
- 51:24have answer number one, the focus is
- 51:28patient and safety. Answer number two,
- 51:32the medication. And answer number four,
- 51:35the supply room and the medication.
- 51:38So, what is the priority? The priority
- 51:41is my patient and whether the patient
- 51:45has an allergy to this medication or
- 51:48not.
- 51:51If you look at this question and this is
- 51:54the scenario that I was telling you
- 51:56about
- 51:57the medication is irrelevant.
- 52:00It could be Tylenol. It could be
- 52:04acetaminophen.
- 52:06Whatever
- 52:07the focus of this question is safety
- 52:12and my priority nursing action is to
- 52:15determine if the patient has allergies
- 52:19to this medication,
- 52:22but it could be any medication. But
- 52:25maybe you're reviewing this question and
- 52:27and you don't know about sulfamethasol.
- 52:31You don't know that this medication is
- 52:33given to treat bacterial infections.
- 52:37But in reality to answer this question,
- 52:41you don't really need to know a whole
- 52:43lot about sulfa at least in this
- 52:46scenario.
- 52:48Okay.
- 52:49All right.
- 52:52Let's review a select all that apply.
- 52:57I know a lot of you have been
- 52:59communicating with me in our telegram
- 53:02group about seleto that applies and
- 53:06although I'm not going to go into into
- 53:08indepth about seleto that apply I want
- 53:11to share with you this scenario and I
- 53:15want you to start thinking about the
- 53:18proper steps to follow in a select all
- 53:21that apply however I'll tell you this
- 53:26most select Like all that apply
- 53:27questions, they are content related.
- 53:32In other words, many of them are content
- 53:34style questions or recall and
- 53:36recognition style questions. There's
- 53:39usually not a whole lot of critical
- 53:41thinking that take in place in a select
- 53:44apply question. However, in this
- 53:46scenario, we can use some critical
- 53:49thinking in this selector that apply. So
- 53:53read this question with me. Analyze this
- 53:55question with me.
- 53:56Tell me in the chat, comment on the chat
- 54:00what is your answer
- 54:03and let me talk about SATS or select all
- 54:07that apply. The first misconception that
- 54:10I have heard on with my students about
- 54:14select that applies.
- 54:18Select that apply is a right and all or
- 54:22nothing scenario. Meaning if the ENLEX
- 54:26determines that there are three correct
- 54:30answers and you select two correct
- 54:33answers is wrong.
- 54:36If the ENLEX determines that that there
- 54:39are three correct answers and you select
- 54:42four is wrong. You have to select
- 54:47exactly
- 54:48the right amount of answers in order for
- 54:53the question to be answered correctly.
- 54:57Now
- 54:59taking that into consideration, let's
- 55:02review this scenario.
- 55:05The nurse is caring for several clients
- 55:07on the respiratory unit who are
- 55:10receiving
- 55:11B beta aduric agonist broncoilator
- 55:16aluterol
- 55:18in the prescribed nebulizer treatments.
- 55:22Which side effects?
- 55:27Important keyword.
- 55:30Which side effect will the nurse expect
- 55:33to assess following administration?
- 55:38Select that apply. So remember what I
- 55:42taught about side effects versus adverse
- 55:47effect. So, a side effect is an
- 55:51undesired
- 55:53expected effect of a medication
- 55:56that can be treated
- 55:59and usually
- 56:01is not going to cause a life-threatening
- 56:04condition.
- 56:06So, let's review answer number one. And
- 56:10I see several of you selected answer
- 56:13number one.
- 56:17increase
- 56:18tacipia.
- 56:20So increase the rate of breathing.
- 56:25If we're giving a bronco dilator
- 56:28albuterol, you have to think of first
- 56:32before we think of the side effect. What
- 56:34is the intended effect? Why am I giving
- 56:38aluterol?
- 56:40in many cases could be to treat wheezing
- 56:44difficulty breathing
- 56:47is given in many conditions it's given
- 56:51in COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary
- 56:54disease
- 56:56so what is the expected therapeltic
- 56:59effect of a bronco dilator
- 57:03if a patient is having difficulty
- 57:05breathing and we give a bronco dilator a
- 57:08medication that is going to dilate the
- 57:10bronchioles,
- 57:12the patient is going to be able to
- 57:14breathe better.
- 57:17So we are not expecting a higher
- 57:21respiratory rate or typnia. We are
- 57:24expecting a decrease in the rate of
- 57:30breathing.
- 57:33So answer number one does not make sense
- 57:37to the intended effect of the
- 57:39medication.
- 57:42Now irritability
- 57:44and nervousness, shakiness,
- 57:47we see that as a side effect of aluterol
- 57:53of a bronco dilator. So answer number
- 57:56two is a definite correct answer.
- 58:01Now what do we see in patients that take
- 58:06aluterol a bronco dilator? We see that
- 58:10the heart rate goes up. So we see
- 58:15tachicardia.
- 58:17This is why in patients that are already
- 58:20tachicardic
- 58:22we have to be careful when we're giving
- 58:24this medication.
- 58:27So tachicardia
- 58:29is a side effect of this medication
- 58:35increase sumance. And I want you to
- 58:38compare answer four and five
- 58:43because they are opposite to each other.
- 58:47And this is a strategy that I use in
- 58:49selectto that applies. I try to find if
- 58:52there are answers that are similar or
- 58:55opposite to each other.
- 58:57So what can this medication cause?
- 59:01Somnolence
- 59:03or insomnia.
- 59:06And look at the other answers.
- 59:09Irritability,
- 59:11nervousness.
- 59:13You think the patient is going to be
- 59:15with some or insomnia.
- 59:19If you see irritability,
- 59:22nervousness and tachicardia and answer
- 59:25number six,
- 59:27anxiety.
- 59:29So if you think about this,
- 59:34irritability and nervousness,
- 59:38tachicardia,
- 59:40insomnia, and anxiety, they're kind of
- 59:44related to each other.
- 59:47Think about it.
- 59:49And it is opposite to answer number four
- 59:54somnance which is the opposite of a
- 59:58patient that is right a wide awake or
- 1:00:02very awake.
- 1:00:05Therefore answer number two three five
- 1:00:10and six are the correct answers. we
- 1:00:14eliminate answer number one and answer
- 1:00:18number four. And this is the scenario
- 1:00:22that I was giving you. Let's say in your
- 1:00:25answers you selected 2, three, and five.
- 1:00:30And you forgot answer number six is
- 1:00:32wrong.
- 1:00:34Let's say that you selected two, three,
- 1:00:37five, six, and one.
- 1:00:40wrong answer because you selected an
- 1:00:43incorrect answer. So it is an all or
- 1:00:48nothing scenario.
- 1:00:50Starting April 2023
- 1:00:54is going to change. The ENLEX will be
- 1:00:57different and the the way they're going
- 1:01:01to calculate if a question is right or
- 1:01:03wrong is different than the way they do
- 1:01:06it now. But we cannot worry about 2023
- 1:01:11yet because we're in 2022.
- 1:01:14So let's continue.
- 1:01:20Reduction of risk potential. And this is
- 1:01:23the last category that I want to share
- 1:01:26with you on day two training.
- 1:01:31Reduction of risk potential refers to
- 1:01:34the nurse's ability to decrease the
- 1:01:37potential for clients to develop
- 1:01:40complications or health pro or health
- 1:01:44problems related to treatments,
- 1:01:48procedures or existing condition.
- 1:01:53Now
- 1:01:55what are the topics that are included
- 1:01:58accordingly to the test plan on
- 1:02:01reduction of risk potential? Diagnostic
- 1:02:04test monitoring conscious sedation
- 1:02:08potential for alteration in the systems
- 1:02:11of the body or in body systems. Tests
- 1:02:15treatments procedures uh pro potential
- 1:02:18complications related to a diagnostic
- 1:02:20procedure. system specific assessment,
- 1:02:23therapeutic procedures, vital signs and
- 1:02:27lab values.
- 1:02:29So all of these topics are included in
- 1:02:33reduction of reduction of risk
- 1:02:36potential. Now let's review a priority
- 1:02:40question related to this category.
- 1:02:45Here's the question.
- 1:02:49Uh, Crystal, guys, isn't today supposed
- 1:02:52to be day two? Yes. Yes. Uh, Crystal, it
- 1:02:56is day two. I just had issues with the
- 1:03:00technology at the beginning and for
- 1:03:02whatever reason, the video that I had
- 1:03:05originally created for day two didn't
- 1:03:08work on YouTube. So, I had to use the
- 1:03:12day one link in order to to start live.
- 1:03:16Otherwise, you guys were going to be
- 1:03:18waiting the whole afternoon and I did
- 1:03:21the best thing I could to start the live
- 1:03:24as soon as possible. So, that is why you
- 1:03:27see on the title day number one.
- 1:03:30However, I will change that after the
- 1:03:33live uh YouTube training and it will say
- 1:03:38the right title uh day number two. Okay.
- 1:03:42So to confirm, we are on day number two
- 1:03:46of our 7day training. Okay,
- 1:03:51I hope that uh clarifies
- 1:03:55Crystal.
- 1:03:58Okay, perfect. So the nurse is caring
- 1:04:01for clients on a medical floor. Which
- 1:04:04client is the highest priority?
- 1:04:08A strategy that I like to use when I see
- 1:04:12a question that gives me four different
- 1:04:15patients.
- 1:04:17I try to identify
- 1:04:21which patient is stable versus unstable.
- 1:04:26I try to identify if there is a patient
- 1:04:29that has an acute condition
- 1:04:33versus a chronic condition.
- 1:04:36I try to identify if there is a patient
- 1:04:40that has some kind of airway, breathing,
- 1:04:44circulation compromise.
- 1:04:48So as I review my answers, I try to
- 1:04:52think about that.
- 1:04:54So patient A, 84 year old exhibiting
- 1:04:59uncontrolled atrial fibrillation.
- 1:05:04Letter B 60 year old 60 year old
- 1:05:08exhibiting asymptomatic
- 1:05:10sinus bradic cardia so let's compare A
- 1:05:14and B and I like to do that I like to
- 1:05:17compare one patient with the other and
- 1:05:20start eliminating remember I always use
- 1:05:24the process of elimination
- 1:05:26so if I compare A and B
- 1:05:31who is worst
- 1:05:33uncontrolled called atrial fibrillation
- 1:05:36or asymptomatic
- 1:05:40sinus bradic cardia.
- 1:05:43So the word asytomatic
- 1:05:46tells me that the patient is not
- 1:05:49experiencing any symptoms.
- 1:05:53So I think B we can eliminate.
- 1:06:00Notice I'm not looking for the right
- 1:06:03answer yet. The only thing that I do was
- 1:06:05compare A and B.
- 1:06:08So now B is out of the way. I will
- 1:06:13compare A and C. Now A says
- 1:06:1884 uncontrolled atrial fibrillation.
- 1:06:22C says 53 year old exhibiting
- 1:06:26ventricular
- 1:06:28fibrillation.
- 1:06:30Oh, we got a problem
- 1:06:33because we know that ventricular
- 1:06:36fibrillation is a deadly disriythmia.
- 1:06:41This patient needs CPR
- 1:06:45and defibrillation
- 1:06:48soon.
- 1:06:49So A and C C is in a work worse
- 1:06:54condition or a more unstable condition.
- 1:07:00So I so I eliminate letter A.
- 1:07:04Now I'm going to compare C and D.
- 1:07:10D 65year-old exhibiting supra
- 1:07:14ventricular tachiardia.
- 1:07:17This is a big problem as well. But
- 1:07:20notice the word supra ventricular or
- 1:07:24above the ventricles.
- 1:07:28So what is a worst scenario?
- 1:07:31Ventricular fibrillation or supra
- 1:07:35ventricular tachiardia. Ventricular
- 1:07:37fibrillation
- 1:07:39is the worst condition. So the answer is
- 1:07:43C.
- 1:07:46Now
- 1:07:47you may look at this question and say oh
- 1:07:51professor this this is easy I know
- 1:07:54ventricular fibrillation is the answer
- 1:07:57over supra ventricular tachicardia over
- 1:08:00asymptomatic suspicardia over
- 1:08:02uncontrolled atrial fibrillation.
- 1:08:05However, I am teaching you thinking
- 1:08:08process.
- 1:08:10Use the same process in whatever the
- 1:08:13topic or situation.
- 1:08:16The problem that I see many of you have
- 1:08:19is that you do not have a system.
- 1:08:23You fail to analyze questions the right
- 1:08:27way and the only thing that you're using
- 1:08:29is content. When the questions get gets
- 1:08:33more difficult, when the scenario is not
- 1:08:36as clear, you don't know what to do. I'm
- 1:08:40teaching you the steps first.
- 1:08:43I want you to improve the critical
- 1:08:46thinking process. I want you to have a
- 1:08:48system at your side and then we will
- 1:08:53review harder questions,
- 1:08:55a more difficult scenario.
- 1:08:58But this is the starting. This is the
- 1:09:01beginning steps because if I start
- 1:09:04giving you super difficult scenarios,
- 1:09:07you'll be like, I don't know what I'm
- 1:09:09doing. I'm lost.
- 1:09:11And we got to take baby steps. Okay.
- 1:09:16So, let's review the next question.
- 1:09:24The nurse is caring for a seven-year-old
- 1:09:26child who has undergone a cardiac
- 1:09:28caization two hours ago. So, they're
- 1:09:32giving us information about the child,
- 1:09:35sevenyear-old.
- 1:09:37The procedure was a cardiac calf two
- 1:09:40hours ago, so
- 1:09:42pretty recent.
- 1:09:45And when the nurse
- 1:09:48goes to see the patient, when the nurse
- 1:09:51checks on the patient, she finds
- 1:09:55the dressing and the bed saturated with
- 1:09:59blood.
- 1:10:03So we have a bleeding problem.
- 1:10:07Saturation or saturated with blood means
- 1:10:11bleeding.
- 1:10:14What is the first
- 1:10:17action to take?
- 1:10:19Once again, we have assessment,
- 1:10:23we have implementation,
- 1:10:26we have implementation in letter C and
- 1:10:30implementation. Calling the D.
- 1:10:34See many students
- 1:10:37they take the approach of calling the
- 1:10:39doctor. It's the easiest thing to do.
- 1:10:44However, learn this.
- 1:10:47If you have a scenario
- 1:10:51that you have an option to call the
- 1:10:53doctor, ask this first.
- 1:10:56Is there something that I can do?
- 1:11:00Is there something within my scope of
- 1:11:02practice that as a nurse I can do to
- 1:11:07help the patient?
- 1:11:09If your answer is yes, there is
- 1:11:11something that you can do to help the
- 1:11:14patient, do it before calling the
- 1:11:17doctor.
- 1:11:19In other words, in this scenario, if I
- 1:11:23do A, B, or C,
- 1:11:27does those answers help the patient? Yes
- 1:11:31or no?
- 1:11:32And yes, there is an answer that helps
- 1:11:36the patient. So therefore, calling the
- 1:11:39doctor is not my first intervention.
- 1:11:46So I have A, B, and C.
- 1:11:50I have an assessment answer that says
- 1:11:52assess bioscience and I have two
- 1:11:55implementation
- 1:11:57answers.
- 1:11:58And let's think about the
- 1:12:01process of critical thinking. I told you
- 1:12:06if it's [clears throat] an emergency do
- 1:12:08not assess, you need to implement.
- 1:12:11This is an emergency. The patient is
- 1:12:13bleeding. There is saturated blood on
- 1:12:16the dressing and on the bed.
- 1:12:19We have to do something to
- 1:12:23assist the patient with bleeding.
- 1:12:24Therefore,
- 1:12:26I will eliminate assessment of vital
- 1:12:29signs. Now I have B and C.
- 1:12:34Which answer B or C is going to help
- 1:12:38stop the bleeding?
- 1:12:42Letter C will help stop the bleeding.
- 1:12:46Apply pressure to the catheter site will
- 1:12:49help stop the bleeding. Therefore,
- 1:12:53answer C is my first action over A, B,
- 1:13:00and D.
- 1:13:02All right, guys. If you haven't
- 1:13:05subscribed to our channel yet, it is
- 1:13:07very important that you do so. As you
- 1:13:10could tell, I had technical difficulties
- 1:13:14today. So, if you weren't subscribed to
- 1:13:16the channel and you didn't have you
- 1:13:18didn't have the right link, you couldn't
- 1:13:20see the training today. So, it's very
- 1:13:22important that each one of you is
- 1:13:24subscribe to our YouTube channel so you

- 1:13:38training. Okay, other trainings that I
- 1:13:41will be doing in the future and the
- 1:13:43other training days that we will have
- 1:13:46for the remainder of the week.
- 1:13:50Also, I have created a telegram channel
- 1:13:55group.
- 1:13:57I see that a lot of you are not in this
- 1:14:00telegram group. If you have the telegram
- 1:14:03application,
- 1:14:05go ahead and go to the comment section
- 1:14:07on this video and find the link to the
- 1:14:10telegram group and join our telegram
- 1:14:13group because in this group every day I
- 1:14:17put information.
- 1:14:19I put the link of the videos so you
- 1:14:21don't miss any of the valuable
- 1:14:23informations that I will be sharing with
- 1:14:25you during the training and after the
- 1:14:27training. Thank you Mr. Martinez. for
- 1:14:31the donation and helping our YouTube
- 1:14:34channel. Are you ready for day three?
- 1:14:40Remember, we will start tomorrow
- 1:14:435:00 p.m.
- 1:14:45Same YouTube channel tomorrow morning in
- 1:14:49the Telegram group. I will share the
- 1:14:52agenda for tomorrow and I will share the
- 1:14:55link with all of you guys.
- 1:15:00All right. Well, 6:22. So, it took us a
- 1:15:04little bit longer than expected, or like
- 1:15:07I told you at the beginning, it was
- 1:15:08going to be like that. It could take us
- 1:15:10a little bit longer because I want to
- 1:15:12make sure I finish the whole
- 1:15:14presentation. It doesn't matter if it
- 1:15:16takes me an hour and a half or two
- 1:15:18hours. I will give you the whole
- 1:15:20presentation and I'll do the best I can
- 1:15:24to help you uh with your ENLEX
- 1:15:27preparation. Remember that you can see
- 1:15:30this video recorded later on. Listen a
- 1:15:34little bit more in detail, okay?
- 1:15:38And really learn this uh critical
- 1:15:40thinking that I'm trying to teach you.
- 1:15:42Thank you uh God loved for the donation
- 1:15:46for our YouTube channel. I appreciate
- 1:15:48it.
- 1:15:50Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
- 1:15:54Uh Crystal, you can find the group in
- 1:15:56the comment section on the video. Find
- 1:15:59the comment section. It will be there on
- 1:16:02the description. I think it's on the
- 1:16:03description.
- 1:16:07Julie, yes, we will do more selector
- 1:16:10that applies.
- 1:16:15Um I don't know if my advisor is here.
- 1:16:18Can you share on the on the comment
- 1:16:20section the the link for the telegram
- 1:16:23group? So the students that are not
- 1:16:25there they can join please.
- 1:16:32Thank you Miss Aeli Monttero for the
- 1:16:36donation. Thank you for supporting our
- 1:16:38YouTube channel.
- 1:16:57Marita SATA is it stands for select all
- 1:17:02that apply. It's just an abbreviation
- 1:17:05that student use.
- 1:17:12Erh
- 1:17:14Senate is there enough time to think
- 1:17:16critically before answering the question
- 1:17:18when taking the ENLEX? Yes, there's more
- 1:17:20than enough time. Remember that it seems
- 1:17:23that you're taking a long time now first
- 1:17:26because I'm explaining it. So, it takes
- 1:17:29longer to explain than to apply. And
- 1:17:32also, as you develop your critical
- 1:17:35thinking and you practice, you will do
- 1:17:38it rather quickly. For example, a
- 1:17:41prioritization question, I can analyze
- 1:17:43it the right way with critical thinking
- 1:17:46in two minutes, less than two minutes.
- 1:17:48depends on the question, but it can be
- 1:17:50done. And remember, you have several
- 1:17:54hours to take the ENLEX, so you don't
- 1:17:56you don't need to be rushing. Okay,
- 1:18:01Miss Bonita Vlet, thank you for your
- 1:18:05donation. Thank you for supporting our
- 1:18:07YouTube channel.
- 1:18:10Loise Brown, I don't really know how
- 1:18:13it's done. I just see the students doing
- 1:18:15it. I think there's like a there's like
- 1:18:19a icon like a money icon or something
- 1:18:22like that if you are connected to
- 1:18:24YouTube. I don't I don't know if they
- 1:18:26ask for your payment information. Like I
- 1:18:28said, I've never done it, but I see the
- 1:18:31students doing it all the time. Maybe if
- 1:18:33somebody can explain on the on the chat
- 1:18:35how to do it. That way the other
- 1:18:38students that want to donate to the
- 1:18:41channel, they can do it cuz I don't
- 1:18:43really know how the process is to be
- 1:18:45honest with you.
- 1:18:52Yes. Everybody, please don't forget to
- 1:18:54like the video. It's important. And
- 1:18:57share the video with other nursing
- 1:18:59students. Okay? Don't forget to do that.
- 1:19:06All right, guys. So, I'm gonna take off.
- 1:19:07Thank you for being here. See you
