Nursing care plans then Endocrine
Endocrine Care Plans
Sequence, teaching accuracy, and the ordinary stressor that becomes an emergency. Most errors here are order of operations errors.
12 plans in this system
Endocrine items are order of operations items. The content is a short list; the errors come from doing the right things in the wrong sequence, or from teaching that is almost accurate. These plans put the sequence in the critical points.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
Almost every DKA question turns on sequence.
CP-012Members onlyType 2 Diabetes Mellitus
These items reward teaching accuracy and the recognition of hypoglycemia.
CP-013Members onlyHypothyroidism
The tested content here is almost entirely medication teaching.
CP-014Members onlyHyperthyroidism and Thyroid Storm
These questions test recognition of escalation.
CP-015Members onlyAdrenal Insufficiency
These items test whether you connect an ordinary stressor to a physiologic emergency.
CP-097Members onlyHyperglycemic Hyperosmolar State
Items give a very high glucose with confusion and no acidosis and expect you to name the state and choose fluid replacement first.
CP-098Members onlyHypoglycemia
Expect an item asking which food to give, where the answer is juice or glucose tablets and the distractor is chocolate or a candy bar.
CP-099Members onlyNewly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
The sick day item is nearly guaranteed and any option that holds insulin because the patient is not eating is wrong.
CP-100Members onlySyndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone
Items pair a low serum sodium with concentrated urine and expect fluid restriction as the intervention.
CP-101Members onlyDiabetes Insipidus
The distinguishing value is urine specific gravity, low here and high in plan CP-100, so read the urine before reading the options.
CP-102Members onlyCushing Syndrome
Priority items land on infection because the presentation is blunted, so a vague finding outranks a dramatic one.
CP-103Members onlyHyperparathyroidism and Hypoparathyroidism
The highest priority item in this plan is always the airway after neck surgery, and tingling around the mouth outranks a laboratory value in a stem.
Opening a plan
Every title here is a real plan. The full body of each one, including the interventions and rationales, is part of a NurseStudy Prep membership. Log in to open them, or see what a membership includes.
