Work The Med Tent…
…at a triathlon and you might hear some amazing stories. Like the 79-year-old fella that is competing in his 200 and umpteenth something race…this year. There is phenomenon about triathlons and athleticism that stirs the soul. I see the competitors and I am moved to the point that I make resolutions much like the ill-fated promises of New Year. I keep telling myself that I am going to get back into shape. Don’t get me wrong, I do work out on a regular basis. Lift a couple to three times a week and swim just as many. But by looking at my backside in this picture, you’d wonder if I ever set foot in a gym. I blame the genetics on the pop. He is a big ol’ boy. To see the blood sweat and tears left in the battle field is beyond words. Props to all those who get in the game and compete through the end including this incredible pic of my buddy TriTPastor2B gutting it out in the final stages of a recent Ironman qualifier while I sat the bench in the med tent. No more excuses.
Well kiss my grits
I had to get Bloglines to recognize me.
I love NCLEX practice questions
First of all let me apologize to those of you that have commented since I have taken my sweet time in replying to your insight. I am humbled that you would take the time to peruse my mental meanderings. Thanks to Kim for the support!
Secondly, the reason I have been so lax in posting is my ever busy school schedule. The profs are really laying in on with only a month left. Haven’t they every considered using the calendars in the online material they are so driven to use for presentations?!
Thirdly, I just love me some practice NCLEX questions:
A client comes to the emergency department while experiencing a panic attack. The nurse can best respond to a client having a panic attack by:
1. staying with the client until the attack subsides.
2. telling the client everything is under control.
3. telling the client to lie down and rest.
4. talking continually to the client by explaining what is happening.
Correct Answer: 1 Your Answer: 1
RATIONALES: The nurse should remain with the client until the attack subsides. If the client is left alone he may become more anxious. Giving false reassurance is inappropriate in this situation. The client should be allowed to move around and pace to help expend energy. The client may be so overwhelmed that he can’t follow lengthy explanations or instructions, so the nurse should use short phrases and slowly give one direction at a time.
As if we really have the time in an over-crowded ER with a waiting list of 3+ hours, a gunshot wound, 2 (or is it 3) suicide attempts, an MVC – Ped, an MCC and collapsed lung from a construction accident. Forgive me for not wanting to listen to you freak out while other people might actually die.
What are some of your favorite Utopian questions?
