NCLEX pharmacology review practice question on beta blocker medications.

On the NCLEX exam, it is inevitable you will receive pharmacology type questions. This NCLEX-style question will test your ability on how to analyze a scenario for a patient taking the beta blocker medication Propranolol.

This video is part of a weekly NCLEX review series where I will be going over NCLEX-style questions with you. I will be helping you analyze and breakdown each question, and walk you through how to select the correct option.

NCLEX questions require critical thinking and you must know how to use your nursing knowledge to gather the facts and analyze what the question is asking.

For this specific NCLEX practice question, you must know the basics about the drug Propranolol and the correct education to provide a patient.

NCLEX Practice Pharmacology Question:

A patient, who has a health history of uncontrolled hypertension, coronary artery disease, and diabetes mellitus, is prescribed to take Propranolol. You have provided the patient with education about this new medication. Which statement by the patient indicates your teaching was effective?

A. “I will take this medication every morning with grapefruit juice.”
B. “If I miss a dose, it is important that I double the next dose to prevent potential side effects.”
C. “It is important that I monitor my blood glucose levels very closely while taking this medication.”
D. “I will immediately stop taking this medication if I experience cold hands or feet.”

Watch the video for the correct answer and rationale.

Healthcare: is it a right or a luxury? | Tarik Sammour | TEDxAdelaide

health No Comments »

Is healthcare a right or a luxury? The answer each individual gives to that question depends largely on their previous experiences with medical care, and on their geographical background and personal philosophy. It is not as simple as it sounds. But the world is getting smaller, and it is imperative that we develop a shared understanding of what kind of healthcare system works best for society in general, and how to fund this effectively. In this talk, Tarik Sammour challenges the audience to think about these questions and engages them in a passionate debate, while putting his own personal spin on things as all good speakers do! Tarik Sammour is a surgeon at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and an Associate Professor at the University of Adelaide, specialising in advanced bowel cancer surgery, patient outcome centred research and robotics. Throughout his training, Tarik has been privileged to work in a wide variety of healthcare systems, from the smallest general hospital in rural New Zealand to one of the largest medical centres in the United States, giving him a unique first-hand insight into what works well for patients and what doesn’t. One of the reasons he eventually chose to settle in Adelaide was because he saw the city’s potential as a leader in healthcare delivery and innovation. With an ageing population and spiralling healthcare costs, he has some ideas to solve problems that are relevant to us all. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Health Care is a Mess... But Why?

You probably know a couple who both work full time to support their children, but even with their dual incomes, they’re finding it more and more difficult to afford health insurance. Everyday incidents like sports injuries, asthma, and blood pressure, combined with their anxiety over rising premiums, are turning their American dream into sleepless nights. Why can’t people catch a break? It wasn’t always this way!

“MEDICATION REMIX” Lyrics:
Stephen “Ragga” Marley
CHORUS 1
Medication
Your medication makes me high
Just be patient
I’m like a patient trying to find
Levitation
Run your fingers down my spine
Elevation
Your medication makes me high Eh!

Ty Dolla $ ign
I fell in love with a sativa
Where you been
Nice to meet ya
It took so long for me to meet ya
Obsessed with ya features
You got all different flavors
You got that loud beat speakers
Your best friend Keisha
Know how to knock em out they sneakers
Like that Louis XIII but she nothing like my ex though
She remind me of gelato
Got me drinking out the bottle
She got me swerving on this shorty
Her name was indica
I tried to tell her I was sorry
She said that’s the end of us
But I can’t help but keep on rolling up
Medication keep me going up
Meditation come on breathe wit us
No ventilation keep the windows up

CHORUS 2
Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley
Such a short way up and such a long way down
Chalice it a bubble like we deh a Ray Town
Di way yuh sup’n nuff it haffi way by pound
Inna fields of Marijuana that is my playground
“I love you Mary-Jane”
You’re the prettiest of flowers girl mi can’t complain
When I’m with you I feel so high I rise above the rain
And yuh nuh do people damage like that bitch cocaine
No!
And leave them lonely feeling only pain
Cause
Your D.N.A. is of the highest strain
Your effect is so potent it’s so insane
Yuh so gummy and sticky like a plasticine
When mi grind out yuh body only stems remain
And to love you is so risky I might get detained
You always keep me flying on the highest plain
And anybody know will always proclaim…

CHORUS 3
Wiz Khalifa
You so fire
You so fire
The only thing I think of
When I need to unwind
See I been go crazy
Cause you been on mind
And something is wrong
But to me it’s not a crime
You can take me places
Just look at they faces
Plus you’re so good
That some don’t know what your taste is
Dealing with you complex
Nothing bout you basic
You the real deal
I could never fake it
I fell in love with the indica
Ever since I was young
I been into ya
Even when you’re almost done
Don’t wanna finish ya
It don’t matter where you at
Imma pick you up
Yeah, Imma pick you up
And we in for a good night
Imma wrap you up real tight
And if things get dark
I give you a light
Keep it with me
You been on my mind all night
Cause you my

SUMMARY:
——————–
Superfoods are the most potent super nutrient rich foods on the planet. They have the ability to increase energy, detoxify the body, boost the immune system, lower inflammation in the body and completely nourish our bodies at the cellular level, which is where true healing takes place. Below are the super stars of the superfoods. Start to incorporate some of these super foods into your daily dietary lifestyle if you wish to experience optimal health. An easy way to accomplish this is by making a plant-based superfood smoothie. I have almost all my private clients incorporate superfoods into their dietary lifestyles. Today you can find these amazing super foods online or at almost any natural health food store. Below are my top ten favorite superfoods and why you should start including them into your diet right away.

1.Cacao (raw chocolate): Contains the world’s highest concentration of antioxidants in the world and is the #1 source of magnesium, iron, manganese and chromium. It has been known to improve cardiovascular health, builds strong bones and even create a good mood. In many cultures, cacao is considered a sacred food and with good reason.

2. Goji berries: Are the most nutritionally rich berry on the planet, they are 4 times more potent than blueberries. This berry is not only full of vitamins and trace minerals, but it is a complete protein source containing all 9 essential amino acids. This is why it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 5,000 years.

3. Goji berries contain zinc, iron copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, phosphorus and vitamins B1, B2, B6 and E.

4. Camu camu berries: Contain the highest vitamin C source on the planet: 60 times more per serving than an orange. This berry is great for enhancing energy and the immune system. It contains an array of antioxidants and has been known to support cognitive function.

5. Spirulina: Is fresh water, single celled, spiral shaped, blue-green algae. It has the highest concentration of complete bioavailable protein (by weight) of any known food (65%). It provides a vast array of minerals, trace elements, phytonutrients and enzymes to support optimal health. It is a rich source of vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, E and K. It contains gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), which is an anti-inflammatory and nervous system essential.

6.Chlorella: Is a fresh water, single-celled, circle-shaped, green algae. It boosts the highest source of chlorophyll per gram than any other plant. It also is a complete protein (60%) by weight. It is also full of immune system and energy-boosting vitamins and minerals. It contains chlorella growth factor (CGF) which can increase tissue repair, supports probiotic growth and help fight free radicals (cancer causing cells). It is a rich source of vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, E and K.

7. Bee Products: Bee pollen is one of the most complete foods found in nature. It contains nearly all the B vitamins and 21 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Honey in its raw state is a rich source of minerals, antioxidants, probiotics and enzymes.

8. Maca: This sacred root has been cultivated in the high Peruvian Andes for thousands of years. It’s known for its adaptogenic effects of increasing energy, libido, strength and endurance. Look for maca that has been gelatinized. This process makes is more concentrated and easier to digest and absorb than raw maca powder.

9. Medicinal Mushrooms (Reishi, Chaga, Cordyseps, Maitake, Shitake): Have been used to help heal cancer and a variety of other diseases. They have super immune enhancing components.

10. Wheatgrass Juice: Having the nutritional value of 2 ½ lbs of leafy green vegetables per oz., freshly juiced wheat grass is 70% chlorophyll, which is an amazing blood detoxifier/cleanser. It is so nutrient dense (full of bioavailable vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids), that you could survive on wheat grass alone for quite some time.

10.Sunflower and Pea Sprouts: Sprouts contain 10-30 times the nutrient concentration of adult size vegetables. This is because when a seed is germinated it releases essential enzymes, vitamins, minerals and amino acids until it can draw these life giving components from the soil to grow. Sunflower and pea sprouts are also complete protein sources containing all 9 essential amino acids.

High Blood Pressure: What You Need to Know About Medications

supplements No Comments »

Dr. Luke Laffin, staff cardiologist in Preventive Cardiology and Clinical Specialist in Hypertension at Cleveland Clinic answers questions that patients often ask about taking high blood pressure medicines: types of medications, side effects, when to call the doctor, role of self-blood pressure monitoring (including how often), the best time to take blood pressure medications, and if there is a chance that patients can come off medications. He ends the program with three important points for patients with high blood pressure.

Blue’s not feeling well. The prescription? Generic medication.

Vitamins are the building blocks that keep our bodies running; they help build muscle and bone, capture energy, heal wounds and more. But if our body doesn’t create vitamins, how do they get into our system? Ginnie Trinh Nguyen describes what vitamins are, how they get into our bodies — and why they are so crucial.
