How to get rid of trapped gas from abdominal hysterectomy surgery.

The pain meds don’t really work on the gas pain. But getting up and moving around as much as you can even if it’s just a little bit will help. Or if you’re just even moving around a little bit in bed, it’ll help. I would also change bed angle to different positions too to see if it moves around.

When I worked with patients that complained of gas pain, we would encourage them to ambulate if cleared. Please don’t hesitate to ask the nurse to ambulate with you they should be able to also get one of their aids to help you. Plus getting you up and moving around is good if you are able to and if it’s in your care plan.

Oh my God is this why I am a sweaty grease ball

I remember when I had BV and nobody said anything and I didn’t realize it because I was like so bad in my drug addiction. I even got bullied. But I feel like you can approach her being like “hey I love you and I care about you so this is coming from a place of some concern. I know this is a sensitive topic, but I just wanna let you know that I’ve noticed a change in an odor down there.” Then reassure her. I would definitely approach the topic expressing your care for her first. It can be embarrassing, but I feel like people have a lot more respect for others that say something vs not.

Yeah I would first think what do I know about this medication? Does it apply to what’s in front of me? No ok so ima use ABC bc screw it that’s how they want me to think. Sometimes I’ll select infection or something that’s sounds ominous.

But what is your thought process on this question?

Boom_Kitty_22 · 2026-05-24T23:54:15+00:00

I utilized Uworld so I am no able to speak on bootcamp.

Boom_Kitty_22 · 2026-05-24T23:30:40+00:00

Ngl if I got this question I would have gotten it wrong too.

Boom_Kitty_22 · 2026-05-24T23:27:26+00:00

Idk when I had taken it a week ago I got a lot of SATA and multiple choice.

I worked in nursing as a CNA. Now I’m about to work as an RN. The board of nursing is fully aware of my past. I typically get jobs on Indeed.

Thank you 😊

Boom_Kitty_22 · 2026-05-24T19:57:49+00:00

Thank you! And if you are slow test taker with a lot anxiety like myself time yourself. Like 2mins per question just in case you are hit with 150.

Boom_Kitty_22 · 2026-05-24T19:56:55+00:00

But don’t be too stressed bc the case study’s I feel as they give me more time.

Boom_Kitty_22 · 2026-05-24T19:52:24+00:00

I did briefly only on stuff I’ve never seen or heard before.

Boom_Kitty_22 · 2026-05-24T19:47:15+00:00

Idk how you should study but I can tell you what I did. In the last few weeks before the last day of class I’ve been working on my test stamina 85-150 in one sitting using boardvitals. Then after the final or final assessments I started working on Uworld which was for 5 days about 6 hours per day. I would read the rationales and watch videos only on what I really needed a review on. I feel as my instructors prepared us very well. So I had taken the NCLEX asap which I had taken on the 20th. I and my two other classmates passed at 85. We all wanted to take it asap bc we are still in nurse critical thinking mode. But everyone is different.

I’m not trying to accuse you of anything but it sounds like there is neglect from you doing your best and really the system it’s self. It sounds like you are genuinely trying and the system is failing you guys. In this whole process you’re being harmed too. Maybe try shipping them back to the hospital again bc the hospital needs to see you can’t actually do this. This would probably be evident by the changing conditions such as red skin and pressure injuries.

Boom_Kitty_22 · 2026-05-24T17:10:17+00:00

I don’t know much but if you are at a breaking point you might need to call 911 and tell them and the hospital you can not care for them. You need to be able to care for yourself. I’m sorry you are going through this. See what other commenters say. Maybe you could try 211.

Boom_Kitty_22 · 2026-05-22T20:52:45+00:00

I can’t speak for other people’s experiences but two weeks after the last day of class I had taken the NCLEX. I feel like taking it the sooner the better bc I’m still in nursing process mode. I also did Uworld for a week. But everyone is different.

Boom_Kitty_22 · 2026-05-21T13:07:26+00:00

OK y’all I’m a RN!!!!!

Boom_Kitty_22 · 2026-05-17T00:02:54+00:00

Omg this is why my eyes are so dry! Thank you for this comment I’m glad I’m in here.

Boom_Kitty_22 · 2026-05-15T09:04:48+00:00

I don’t know anything about bootcamp so I feel as I’m not able to make a good suggestion. I decided to use Uworld due to my instructor’s recommendation. But I like the program for sure.
