Day 8 is ready in the Classroom tab. Today I’m studying Burn Management, including burn depth, Rule of Nines, TBSA calculation, Parkland Formula, burn phases, electrolyte changes, and escharotomy indications. The main focus is understanding the priorities: airway first, then fluid resuscitation, circulation, infection prevention, and recognizing when a burn is restricting breathing or blood flow. Key points from today: Airway first with face/neck burns, soot, hoarse voice, or stridor TBSA counts partial-thickness and full-thickness burns only Parkland Formula = 4 mL LR × kg × %TBSA Half of fluids go in the first 8 hours from the time of burn Emergent phase = shock, edema, hyperkalemia Acute phase = wound care, infection prevention, hypokalemia risk Escharotomy = tight circumferential burn restricting circulation or breathing Full study guide is posted in the Classroom tab. 🩺📚

Bleach penetrates the cuticle to oxidize and dissolve the natural melanin pigment inside the cortex. This leaves the interior of your hair hollow, porous, and highly fragile.

Sleeping with wet hair causes friction between your fragile, swollen strands and the pillowcase. It also creates a damp, warm environment that encourages fungal growth on your scalp.

Today’s NCLEX topic is wound care and wound healing. I covered the basics of how wounds heal, pressure injury staging, Braden Scale risk assessment, wound VAC therapy, diabetic foot care, and major complications like dehiscence, evisceration, hemorrhage, hematoma, and fistulas. I posted the full long-format study guide inside the Classroom tab for anyone who wants the complete notes. 🩺📚
