DM: 15-20
Dosage calculations: 3
Skills labs: 5-8 (Blood Glucose; Pain; Meds through NG/G tube; Management/Communication
NEW: 25 questions added for a cumulative final exam, so 75 questions in all.
• 10 - 15 from Unit 1

The time for the exam will be adjusted accordingly.
ATI assessment will be given during lab time. Report to your lab and you will proceed to the
assigned rooms. Please remember to bring your ID and password that you used to create your
account with ATI. You will not be able to take the assessment without it.
Sensory may be self study.
Students who need accommodation, please arrange with special services to start your exam at
12pm. Best of luck with your studying. NUR 133 faculty

The knowledge of frontline nurses that they gather from their interactions
with patients is critical to reducing medical errors and
improving patient outcomes.
• Involving nurses at a variety of levels across the acute care setting in decision
making and leadership benefits the patient, improves the organizations in which
nurses practice, and strengthens the health care system in general.
• Increasing the time that nurses can spend at the bedside is an essential
component of achieving the goal of patient-centered care.
• High-quality acute care settings require integrated systems that use technology
effectively while increasing the efficiency of nurses and affording them increased
time to spend with patients.
• Multidisciplinary care teams characterized by extensive and respectful
collaboration among team members improve the quality, safety, and effectiveness
of care.
• Many of the innovations that need to be implemented in the health care system
already exist somewhere in the United States, but barriers to their dissemination
keep them from being adopted more widely. As Dr. Marilyn Chow observed, “the
future is here, it just isn’t everywhere.”

• Health Teaching: Instruct the patient about sodium restriction, weight
maintenance or reduction, alcohol restriction, stress management, and
exercise. If necessary, also explain about the need to stop using tobacco,
especially smoking. Provide oral and written information about the
indications, dosage, times for administration, side effects, and drug
interactions for antihypertensives. Stress that medication must be taken
as prescribed and that when all of it has been consumed, the prescription
must be renewed on a continual basis. Suddenly stopping drugs such as
beta blockers can result in angina (chest pain), myocardial infarction (MI),
or rebound hypertension. Also urge patients to report unpleasant side
effects, such as excessive fatigue, cough, or sexual dysfunction. In many instances, an alternative drug can be prescribed to minimize certain side
effects. Ignatavicius Workman. Medical-Surgical Nursing, 803.

Tobacco dependence syndrome
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1859602
• World Health Forum. 1991;12(1):70-2.
• Implications of the tobacco dependence syndrome for smoking
control programmes.
• Ramström LM, Masironi R.
• Institute for Tobacco Studies, Stockholm, Sweden.
• Abstract
• Motivational and psychosocial treatments for tobacco dependence,
while valuable, are not sufficient to solve nicotine-related problems,
which usually require a pharmacological approach. There is also a
need for training programmes for health workers and major
educational campaigns on the nature of tobacco dependence to be
directed at opinion leaders, teachers and the public at large.
