We'd assess the symptoms, get a 12 lead if indicated, and give lasix if the blood pressure is stable. We're an ortho rehab, so don't fo any IV meds often.
Pathophysiology
Post your pathophysiology questions here!

I'm new so I missed the Q and A, but I am struggling to remember the concepts and apply them. I don't do well with all online learning, but do tend to remember the concepts doing lectures and notes. Any tips or resources anyone has for a lecture style format would be welcome. I am definitely appreciating the work sheets so far

Hello! I've been an RN for 17 years in a variety of settings. My struggle is using an all online forum? And the fact that I am now 50 in having some rain fog. I'm currently in pathophysiology, and just trying to retain it all!
Introduction Thread
Welcome! 👋 I'd love to get to know you. Tell me a little about yourself: - What's your name? - - If you're an NP student, what program are you in (FNP, AGACNP, PMHNP, PNP, WHNP, etc.) and where are you in your journey? - - If you're not in NP school yet, what's motivating you to consider it? - Drop your answers in the comments and let's connect!

Hi! I'm Shanlyn, RN. I live in Chandler, Az and I'm halfway through my third NP class, Pathophysiology, at University of Phoenix. I haven't been to school since 2012, so this online learning is a bit of a challenge for me.
