clinical experiences that rock ur brain

For notes:

UE/LE Resistance:
5- can lift extremities w/resistance
4- can move extremities above bed with some resistance-weak
3- can move extremities above bed without resistance
2- can move extremities on bed
1- can move digits
0- no movement

What to do when checking EKG strip:
1. Rhythm (irregular/regular)
2. Rate
3. P wave present??
4. Is there a P wave for every QRS
5. PR-interval length

Today, my clinical instructor rocked us! Ms. "L" can attest...one day we will be the "good nurse" as Fidel says.
