Ati's Fundamentals Reflective Report
Over the weekend, I answered some NCLEX questions and studied for the upcoming test for the class. I went over the activity and immobility detailed course outline. I looked through the ATI’s Fundamentals of Nursing book to get a better understanding of what I am learning. I went over the steps on making a bed, taking a patient off a bed to a wheelchair, and providing care for the immobile. After that, I did some more NCLEX questions and did a little reading for head, neck, and neuro.
NCLEX questions:
1. Those wounds that are left open for 3-5 days to allow edema, infection, or exudate to drain?

The answer I chose for this question is “secondary healing”. I chose this answer because secondary because the wound is left open. The correct answer

    Remodeling process takes place after the third week, whereby the wound is altered constantly. Constant alteration of wound can last for years after the initial injury occurred. In remodeling, collagen is degraded and deposited in an equilibrium-producing fashion, resulting in no change in the amount of collagen deposited in the wound. In normal wound healing, the collagen deposition reaches a peak by the third week after the wound is created. Then, contraction of the wound takes place following collagen deposition. Wound contraction is an ongoing process resulting in part from the proliferation of the specialized fibroblasts termed myofibroblasts, which resemble contractile smooth muscle cells (Deodhar & Rana, 1997, para 3). Wound contraction occurs to a greater extent with secondary healing than with primary healing, whereby it leaves a scar in socondary healing. By the 12th week, maximal tensile strength of the wound is achieved although the ultimate resultant scar has only 80% of the tensile strength of the original skin that it has replaced (Brunner & Suddarth, 2008, p.…

    I was sure to do my study guide and review it before clinical, as well as completing all labor and delivery drug cards, including two extra. This helped me understand what the nurses and doctors were taking about. This clinical in L&D, which enabled me to use the wave understandings that Traywick taught to us the previous week. This helped me see how the patients were doing in relation to contractions and how the baby was responding. This was interesting and neat to have an idea of what it means instead of going throughout clinical without any insight on this.…

    The NCLEX test blue print will be a useful guide for me throughout nursing school. It provides me with the basic idea of how the test will be laid out and what kind of information will be included. Having read the first few pages, I find it very useful because it breaks down the nursing process and how to apply it to different areas in nursing. In addition, the nursing test blue print provides several scenarios, in which a patient is at risk for potential body alterations, whether it is psychosocial or physiological, and it explains the rationale of every answer.…

    1. To prepare for the NCLEX-RN, I plan to devote the months of May and June to studying. I intend to spend the majority of my time going back through my notes from all of the semesters and making note of things that I will need to refresh on again just prior to taking my NCLEX. As of now, I don’t feel as though this is something that may be unrealistic however, I understand once I get into actually studying my plan may change. I also have a Kaplan NCLEX book I plan to utilize to prepare for this exam, as well as using online resources such as U-World. As of this moment, I am unsure if I will be able to participate in the Hurst review but, I am still looking into my options.…

    My library tour at Texas Woman’s University had begun even before the semester kicked in. Not surprisingly, a former nursing student like me knew very well that the semester would become overwhelming very soon. An early jump-start getting to know some available resources would curtail my time spending later for all writing assignments or researches. Armed with previous library experience, I set out for my exploration by going directly into a “RESEARCH” tab and easily located the nursing field with abundant database sites. I carefully explored all the sites and I felt relieved because I had help on hand, and didn’t have to worry about being unable to seek help any more.…
