Glad it was helpful!

Oh good!! I'm so glad! You're so very welcome. Connecting the dots is such a good descriptor for the new NP process. Absolutely!! I've had a lot of questions about diabetes, I'll work on that for sure. There are SO many places to go with it but it sounds like the biggest struggle is uncontrolled, multiple meds, starting and titrating insulin. Another note is that there's an NP on youtube called the Diabetes NP that's doing a medication series if you want to check it out in the meantime!

Totally! I just replied on the Hyponatremia video but I think unfortunately the more I learn about and understand lab interpretation, the more nuanced and complex I realize that it is! I've tried to cover the most straightforward (ish) ones here, but I've also got a lab interpretation course starting in January that covers them all more in depth if you're interested!

Thank you!

You are so welcome! I really appreciate your kind words!

Glad you like them!

My pleasure!

You are so welcome! And thank you!!

Glad you think so!

Thank you!

Intervention such as these are usually not prescribed in the outpatient setting. If the patient is fragile they should be closely monitored especially with these interventions.

This could definitely be a differential. If you as a provider think it would be helpful to get a diagnostic urinalysis to check go for it 😄.

Yeah it depends, but typically they need a stat recheck for potassium higher than 6+ , and the place to order those and get a quick result are from a monitored place like the ER. Even when we order stat labs in primary care, it takes a few hours to come back, and the ER can monitor them if they need to. That's especially the case if they have impaired renal function

Ok I hadn't finished the video yet and saw that you did the sodium correction score. Question answered!

Excellent!
