Thank you Rescue Academy for being part of my success!! I walked out of that test room, unsure of how I did because I know it was either super good or super bad when the test cut off at 110 😅. This, along w/ actually getting to start at my dream department this June is just insane to me 💕. Genuinely can’t explain enough how accomplished and free I feel to have received this email just an hour or so after the test. My heart is so full 🥰

Are you able to touch a bit more on Immunity/Cancerous Cells/Cellular Terminology/How Cells are effected by viruses bs bacteria, etc.? Been having trouble with those kinds of questions

Trying something new. I'll continue to make these if you see the value. Let me know if you like this style of video to help your studies.

ALLERGIC REACTION / ASTHMA Scenario Clue Pattern - Onset while eating - Itching neck/chest - Thick tongue - Wheezes - History of asthma Mild Allergic Reaction - Localized rash - Itching - No airway involvement - No hypotension Treatment: - Antihistamine (diphenhydramine) - Monitor Moderate Allergic Reaction - Diffuse urticaria - Mild airway involvement - Wheezing - GI symptoms Treatment: - Epinephrine IM (if systemic) - Antihistamine - Steroids - Albuterol if bronchospasm Severe Anaphylaxis - Thick tongue - Stridor - Hypotension - Altered LOC - Severe bronchospasm FIRST medication: Epinephrine IM Not albuterol. Not Benadryl alone. Then give the other medications. Don't forget about IV epi infusion. Asthma Pathophysiology Asthma = - Bronchoconstriction - Airway inflammation - Mucus production Leads to: - Wheezing - Prolonged expiration - CO₂ retention (late) - Fatigue → silent chest (critical) TOXICOLOGY Man-Made Toxic Gases Examples: - Chlorine - Phosgene - Ammonia - Hydrogen sulfide Test trick: Many industrial gases end similarly (e.g., "-ine" or "-ide") Beta Blocker OD - Bradycardia - Hypotension - Hypoglycemia (especially kids) - Shock Treatment: - Glucagon - Atropine - Fluids Methamphetamine OD - Tachycardia - Hypertension - Hyperthermia - Dilated pupils - Agitation Treatment: - Benzodiazepines - Cooling - Supportive care NEUROLOGY / STROKE Posterior Stroke Signs - Vertigo - Ataxia - Diplopia - Dysphagia - Nystagmus - Normal FAST possible Vertigo vs Stroke Peripheral vertigo: - Severe spinning - Nausea - No focal weakness Stroke: - Ataxia - Weakness - Slurred speech - Vision changes Aphasia + Weakness That does NOT differentiate ischemic vs hemorrhagic. Both can cause: - Aphasia - Unilateral weakness You cannot tell type without imaging. Hemorrhagic Stroke - Severe headache - Vomiting - Rapid decline - Hypertension
