Important news....as always! Keep your eye on the blog!!!

Hi Everyone ~

 Don't forget....  MT #2 due tomorrow.! What are you going to do for MT#3??? Choose a disease, condition or injury and tell me what it is.  Don't wait too long to choose! 

 Keep me posted on vaccinations, immunizations, TB, etc. Don't get dropped from the class!!!! Deadline for documentation, MONDAY, 10/8.

HOMEWORK (again): Leave a note by your bed to remind you to take your resting heart rate (RHR) BEFORE getting out of bed tomorrow morning. Take your carotid or radial pulse for ONE FULL MINUTE. Write down how many pulses you felt during that 60 seconds. Keep a timepiece by the bed, your cell phone or a digital clock to be able to count for a full minute. Wait for the new minute to start on the digital watch or phone, then start counting.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF THE A-Z PAGES OF YOUR RED DHO TEXTBOOK SO YOU CAN WORK ON FLASHCARDS THIS WEEK(END).

Talk to your family about blood typing and organ donation. What have you all decided to do?  Does your family, religion/culture support blood transfusions and organ donation?  We must respect the patient's wishes, especially if there is an advance directive.

What is LDL cholesterol and what is HDL cholesterol?  Do you remember?

Take care,

Mrs. Erceg
