The HYPERKALEMIA"Machine" - Causes of Increased Serum K+M - Medications - ACE inhibitors, NSAIDSA - Acidosis - Metabolic and respiratoryC - Cellular destruction - Burns, traumatic injuryH - Hypoaldosteronism, hemolysis
I - Intake - ExcesssiveN - Nephrons, renal failureE - Excretion Impaired
MURDER- Signs and Symptoms of Increased Serum K+
M - Muscle weakness
U - Urine, oliguria, anuria
R- Respiratory distress
D - Decreased cardiac contractility
E - ECG changes
R - Reflexes, hyperreflexia, or areflexia
(flaccid)
HYPERNATREMIA"You Are Fried"
F - Fever (low grade), flushed skinR- Restless (irritable)I - Increased fluid retention and increased BP
E - Edema (peripheral and pitting)D - Decreased urinary output, dry mouth
Can also use this one:
SALT
S = Skin flushedA = AgitationL = Low-grade feverT = Thirst
S/S of Hyponatremia
S tupor/comaA norexia, N&VL ethargy
T endon reflexes decreasedL imp muscles (weakness)O rthostatic hypotension
S eizures/headacheS tomach cramping
"CATS" of "HYPOCALCEMIA"C - ConvulsionsA- Arrhythmias
T - TetanyS - Spasms and stridor

Use the ABCD rule to assess a moles malignant potential:A: Asymmetry--Is the mole irregular in shape?B: Border--Is the border irregular, notched, or poorly defined?C: Color--Does the color vary (for example, between shades of brown,red, white, blue, or black)?D: Diameter--Is the diameter more than 6 mm?
To remember the difference between transudate andexudates, focus on the prefixes
Trans- means across as in the transcontinental railroadEx- means out of as in exhale
To remember the difference between aerobic and anaerobic,think of jogging When you jog an aerobic activity, your bodyneeds oxygen or air- aerobic meansoxygen is required.Anaerobic means without oxygen.

Urticaria (hives)RashRespiratory distress
To remember what to assess when evaluating a skin lesion,think of A, B, C, DA for asymmetryB for borderC for color and configurationD for diameter and drainage
To remember that cones are cells in the eyes that respond tocolor, think of brightly colored icecream cones.
To remember which direction to move the syringe when youwant to slow down the flow through
the tube, think ofLower is slower, orSlow DOWN
To remember the progression of ARDS, think ofAssault to the pulmonary systemRespiratory distressDecreased lung complianceSevere respiratory failure
To remember the meaning of myasthenia gravis...Think of grave muscle weakness.
To remember the progression of signs and symptoms of Lymedisease LIME
Lesion, lymph node swelling, like the flu (stage 1)Innervations problems, such as meningitis and peripheralneuropathy (stage 2)Movement problems, such as arthritis (stage 3)Everything else, such as myocarditis and arrhythmias (stage4)
To remember the difference between depolarization andrepolarization, think ofthe R in repolarization as standing for Rest. Repolarization isthe resting phase of the cardiac cycle.When performing an assessment, remember this CAUTIONfrom the American Cancer SocietyChange in bowel or bladder habitsA sore that doesnt heal
