    [NU 144_rev 2] Unit 3: Cardiovascular & Peripheral Vascular Disorders I

    Hello everyone, and welcome back. In this Unit 3 podcast, we're going to focus on cardiac perfusion, coronary artery disease, angina, and myocardial infarction. As we work through these concepts, I want you to think like a nurse and continually ask yourself three questions: What is happening? Why is it happening? And what is my priority?

    [NU 144_rev 2] Unit 2: Health alterations affecting the Gastrointestinal (GI) system - part II

    Hello everyone, and welcome to this review podcast. Let’s begin with upper gastrointestinal disorders, because these are common in primary care, but they can also become dangerous quickly when bleeding, perforation, or hemodynamic instability develops.

    [NU 144_rev 2] Unit 1: Health alterations affecting the Gastrointestinal (GI) system - part I

    Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Med-surg 2 Clinical Reasoning Podcast. In this episode, we're focusing on gastrointestinal assessment, diagnostic procedures, cancer screening, therapeutic communication, and clinical judgment. Rather than memorizing isolated facts, I want you to think like a nurse caring for real patients and asking yourself, "What is happening? Why does it matter? What should I do first?"

    [NU 144_rev] Final review

    Hello everyone, and welcome back. In this final review series, we’re going to work through the major concepts from NU 144 using clinical reasoning. As you listen, keep your final review document open and follow along because I’m not simply going to repeat information. I’m going to help you connect symptoms, pathophysiology, assessment findings, complications, and nursing priorities so you can think through these scenarios like a nurse at the bedside.

    [NU 144_rev] Unit 9: Care of the client with cardiac, oxygenation, and fluid disturbances

    Hello everyone, and welcome back. In this episode, we’re going to walk through Unit 9, focusing on acid–base balance, ABG interpretation, fluid balance, dehydration, shock, and the beginning of electrolyte imbalances. As you listen, keep your case-based learning document open and follow along. I’m not going to read the document word-for-word. Instead, I’m going to help you understand why the symptoms happen, how the lab values connect to the body’s response, and what the nurse should recognize first.

    [NU 144_rev] Unit 8: Neuro II - seizure disorder and epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and Parkinson's disease

    Hello everyone, and welcome back. Today we’re going to walk through Unit 8 together, and I want you to think about this less like studying and more like being at the bedside with a patient. As always, I want you asking yourself, what is happening, why is it dangerous, and what is my priority as the nurse. Let’s start with stroke, because this is one of the most time-sensitive conditions you will ever see.

    [NU 144_rev] Unit 7: Neuro I - Neurologic Disorders, Head Injury, & Spinal Cord Injury

    Hello everyone, and welcome back. As you’re listening, follow along with your Unit 7 clinical reasoning document. This unit focuses heavily on neurologic assessment, neurologic emergencies, cerebral perfusion, and airway protection. One of the biggest goals in this unit is learning how to recognize subtle neurologic changes early, because with neurologic patients, small changes can quickly become life-threatening. As we go through these scenarios, keep asking yourself: what is happening physiologically, what is the priority, and what could go wrong next if the condition worsens?

    [NU 144_rev] Unit 6: Musculoskeletal Disorders, & Orthopedic Care

    Hello everyone, and welcome back. In this episode, we’re going to walk through Unit 6 focusing on musculoskeletal disorders and orthopedic care. As you listen, I want you to follow along with your case-based learning document. I’m not going to read it word-for-word, but I will help you think through what is happening in each case and why it matters clinically. As we go through this, keep asking yourself: Is this an acute problem or a chronic condition? What is the underlying cause? What is the priority risk if this is not managed?
