Renal love

Dehydration

I just want you to

Stop giving IV Lasix for days and days without checking BNP-or – BUN/Creat.

Please. I am to new for this.

 

Fluidity

Fluidity

• Body fluid is water that has electrolytes dissolved in it.

• Homeostasis is always the goal.

• Intake and output really only balance q 72hours!

• Insensibly the lungs put out about 300-500ml of water q 24 hours!

• Insensibly the skin puts out about 500ml day (think about that next time your  patient does not drink or eat anything.)

• For patients with renal problems fluid requirements can be made by multiplying the body surface area times the insensible water loss (neat)!!Fluid has many pertinent functions….Maintains blood volume, regualates  body temp.   Transports stuff to and from cells. Cellular metabolism medium–digestion of food–a medium for waste–

• I always seemed so puzzled by how fluids and electrolytes work…I am working on this puzzle now!

3 dimensional heart conduction

I found this site that is a bit informative and I just LOVE the graphics.

Really feel the electricity.

Trust vs Mistrust

Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory

1. Trust vs Mistrust–Birth to 1 year–Can I trust others?

2. Autonomy vs Shame and doubt–1-3years–Can I act on my own?

3.Initiative vs Guilt–3-6 years–Can I do my plans with success?

4. Industry vs inferiotiry–6-12 years–Compared to others..am I compentent?

5.Identity vs role confusion–12-20years–Who am I anyway?

6.Intimacy vs isolation–20-40years–AM I ready for a relationship?

7.Generativity vs stagnation–40-65years–Have I left my mark on the world?

8. Integrity vs despair– 65+–Has my life  been meaningful?

Tired of studying.

This should provide some laughter.

More Documentation

l

Look at this pretty reporter just doing her job right? It should say, “Thanks Administration, We would be sued without you!”

Well I am pretty sick of all the paper work and writing I have to do for my job.  I would much rather be in the rooms doing real patient care and practicing the art of helping people get better than….documenting, more and more all for the sake of CYA--if you know what I mean.

The administration is in midst of auditing charts right now so that means less patient care and more documenting.

Vygotsky

We are all about the social concept here. Knowledge depends on social experiences.

Now THIS is something I would love to do research on.

So now you know Piaget vs Vygotskyis the winner of this mini round for me.
