NCLEX PREP: ANOTHER SATA AND PHARM VIDEO

Dr. Sharon reviews 5 more SATA questions with a focus on pharm.

[@CaptainVelveeta]

This is GOLDEN! I'm taking the NCLEX in a couple of weeks and your logic when approaching SATA's dramatically reduces my anxiety level...thanks!🙂

[@Gracefavor-Lord42]

Thank You Dr Sharon

[@MajerliActually]

Dr. Sharon, some of these questions are on Uworld. I will need some clarification because Uworld has the exact same Levothyroxine question word for word and actually says that the skin being cool and dry is NOT something you should expect after treatment. It is saying dry skin is a characteristic of decreased blood flow in hypothyroidism and that the answer should say that the skin should just look normal. It's difficult when there are small inconsistencies like this between teaching platforms, I apologize. It makes it difficult to know exactly what answer NCLEX would actually accept.

[@MaximumRideMaster]

I agree here. I also remember in the Kilmek reviews Hypometabolism (another way of looking at hypothyroidism) is all low. So having cool and dry would mean their symptoms aren’t improving since those are symptoms of low. An improved would be normal like u said

[@vincentgonard6511]

I also agree that’s what I’m thinking before i read your comment thanks for this

[@talking_to_Jadore]

i also agreed, some stuff are confusing...

[@kingbelowme]

I agree

[@ChiseledFrame]

Thank for the video’s Dr. Sharon. Thank you for helping students to prepare for the NCLEX, this is priceless.

[@elizabethsoul6377]

Hello I advise you to contact Dr Luther if you are preparing for your nclex be it RN or PN. He is the reason I and my husband are very happy today working as Rns

[@jerinaelsa]

Thanks Dr Sharon

[@isaacodumbo300]

That’s the same exact question on UWORLD and have done it without including skin is dry and cool and I got it right.

[@klimekreviews]

I hear you. I think this could go either way. Those with hypothyroid are COLD, so when their thyroid is normal, they feel warmer. I suppose the reason uworld says this answer is “wrong” is because of the word “cool”, I suppose they would say it should be “warm and dry”, but I think that is too narrow of a distinction

[@brians2103]

It's ironic that they claim copyright on all of their old KZbin videos but at the same time directly steal questions from uworld. Lol

[@mollyevelynhay]

So helpful… thank you!

[@TheAspiringCentenarian]

Thanks so much as always

[@fionadekker1798]

for question 2- my first thought was to not pick D because we want warm skin that to me is normal not cool skin

[@peytonwhitley410]

Hi! I'm stumped on the second question regarding selecting D. I chose not to select it because the hypothyroid patient already has cool and dry skin, so in turn when the Levothyroxine is correcting the hypothyroid symptoms, I assumed this to be incorrect since that was already an expected finding of hypothyroidism. Could you offer some clarification on this? Thanks!!

[@heavensroger_usrn]

I think you’re right. I also disagree with that being a correct answer.

[@lumamaria9678]

you are very correct, i was doubting too,

[@jerwinmanalastas5149]

Same here…

[@ChurchRicardo888]

same here. I ended the video because I feel like it will make me more confused. but I ended finishing the video up. lol well I hope she’ll correct this if this is wronh indeed. But I like her way of answering.

Pt NRNR normal pt is 11 to 12.5 seconds Draw a baseline specimen before anticoagulation therapy

[@vincentgonard6511]

I passed my nclex last june 19 stopped at 85, only thing that i wanna share to those who will take their nclex is focus more on concepts

[@roselineprosperprosper742]

Hello Dr.Sharon. I am just coming across your videos and these sata questions and how you break them down is really helpful. I have a question about question number 5. You said you are not worried about the BP is 140/84. can you explain why because I thought to pick it because it is high... thank you

[@amandaaapops]

Hi! Their systolic is elevated, but their diastolic pressure is within normal range. 140/84 isn’t a huge concern AND they are prescribed clopidogrel anyway which will thin their blood anyway and in turn, help prevent clots with a slightly elevated BP so it’s not concerning. The question is asking what data would cause harm to the patient if they took this med. Therefore, the BP being slightly elevated will not have a concerning/deadly effect. Hope that makes sense!

[@klimekreviews]

140 is basically the top end of normal

[@gixelz]

why skin is cool and dry? i don't know if that makes sense as an aswer

[@fizaomer9523]

I have to clarify about question no 2 option 4 why skin cool and dry ?? As patient started treatment and there us improvement then why no improvement in the skin and body temperature kindly reply thanks

[@reshmaaaaaassss4789]

Hai ...my exam is on Aug 12 dearss..I know next few days are crucial, how can I cope my stress ....need a proper schedule

[@hubertschulz6005]

Hello let me know if you need any help i passed mine through Mr James

[@isaacodumbo300]

The question regarding hypothyroidism, you included skin is dry and cool as one of the answers and on UWORLD, it doesn’t include that answer.
