    Decreasing Test Anxiety

    Chapter

    Sweaty armpits, clammy hands, feeling of impending doom, and feeling like the room is closing in on nursing students are all symptoms of anxiety about taking a nursing test. Many students experience these feelings during a test, and they tend to be overwhelming. The author talks about ways to decrease anxiety and share some test-taking strategies to help the nursing students through both the NCLEX and nursing school. She discusses ways to decrease anxiety while test taking. The author instructs the nursing students to take their own time to learn all the information and to study the material every week until the exam. She also instructs the nursing students to attend study groups, which gives them not only extra credit but also a better idea of what is on the exam.

    Pharmacology

    Chapter

    This chapter defines each medication such as cardiovascular medications, antiplatelet medications, anticoagulants, cardiac glycosides and antiarrhythmic medications, and lists its side effects, explains its pharmacokinetics, and summarizes related nursing care. One of the many responsibilities of a nurse is to safely administer medication to patients. It is important to know what nurse are administering, its side effects, and the route. Nurse should also be able to educate the patient on the medications prescribed. In the hospital, medications are administered electronically. The patient wears an armband that is scanned and registered into the computer. This is a great process because there is less room for error. Pain medication can constipate patients, and a stool softener should be given in conjunction. Teach the patient about the side effects of pain medications. Monitor the patient’s mental status. Narcan can be given if the patient is overmedicated.

  • StrangulationGo to chapter: Strangulation

    Strangulation

    Chapter

    Strangulation is the reduction of blood flow and oxygenation to or from the brain that occurs from external compression of the blood vessels in the neck. Strangulation can be accomplished via multiple methods and can be difficult to detect. Although some victims of strangulation may be identified during episodic care, it is more likely that victims will not disclose intimate partner violence (IPV). This chapter describes the signs and symptoms of strangulation, informs on screening and treatment of victims during episodic care, and provides guidance for assisting victims toward aftercare resources. It helps the nurse to: define strangulation and understand the high risk that strangulation poses to lethality for victims of IPV; identify populations who may be at risk for strangulation; understand the signs and symptoms of strangulation; differentiate between strangulation and choking and assist victims to differentiate; and identify resources for victims of IPV and strangulation.

    Elder Maltreatment

    Chapter

    Elder maltreatment is an increasing issue worldwide, mostly due to the rise in the older adult population. Abuse of the elderly can happen to anyone and varies with culture. Nurses are mandatory reporters, so it is crucial to know your organization’s policy and your state laws. The chapter helps the nurse to: define elderly abuse; differentiate between the different types of elderly abuse; recognize the “red flags” of elderly abuse; explain elderly abuse reporting; and identify various resources for elderly abuse. Forensic nurses and nurses who work with elders are in a key position to screen, identify, and provide linkage and resources to those most vulnerable and at risk. It is imperative that nurses have a foundational knowledge in elder maltreatment so that they can help patients who may be experiencing any types of abuse and address this serious public health problem.
