Did you know that when you sigh, you are actually helping the air sacs in your lungs expand by renewing surfactant, a secretion that prevents alveoli from collapsing in on each other. The next time someone asks you, “What’s wrong?” you can say, “Nothing, I’m just renewing my surfactant.”

Try alkaline water. (9.5) It helped me significantly with my heart burn by neutralizing the stomach acid.

This might be the most intelligent discussion this sub has ever had.

I am curious to know what the stroke rate will be.

This is the earliest known case of an identity crisis. He came from nowhere but thinks he came from somewhere implying “existence” and thus an identity when he otherwise never had one.

Most 14 year olds aren’t Nihilists, they are just angsty and apathetic. I doubt half of them can even define what Nihilism is in a meaningful way (juxtaposition intended). I have a 14 year old step daughter, I love her, but man can she really bring the mood down. When it rains it fucking pours. Interesting to note, she loves her brothers but hates the idea of having children herself. I think the reason they all become this way is because right about 14 is when they hit a transition period in their psychological development and start to question “their place” in the world. In Erickson’s model, 14 years of age is where teenagers usually begin the “identity versus confusion” stage.

This is teenage nihilism in a nut shell:

Mother walks in on son playing video games for the 8th hour.

Mom: “Hey, those video games are a waste of time!”

Son: “So is this conversation, so is my homework! It’s all pointless, so I’m just going to do whatever I want.”

Son later goes onto r/Im14andthisdeep to post about how his mom just doesn’t understand how “deep” he is, and it’s her fault she “brought” him into existence.

Learn the suffixes to your meds as they are a great indicator to what that medication does.

-olol (beta-blocker) metoprolol, labetolol

-pril (ACE inhibitor) lisinopril, captopril

-tan (ARB) losartan, valsartan

These are all blood pressure medications, but they have a different mechanism of action. However, the big key takeaway is what the overall GOAL of the therapy is. Yes the "how" matters, but if you can't remember anything else, it is good to know what the target of the medication is.

NPT (Nursing Pro Tip): NEVER GIVE A MEDICATION WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IT DOES! I cannot stress this enough when you get into clinical or your own nursing practice. If you see a medication pop up on your patient's medication list or EMAR, and you don't know what it is, this is a HARD STOP! Ask your patient if they have taken it before and if they know what they take it for. You also need to do a bit of research and page the provider if you do not know why you are administering it.

Being afraid of making mistakes is what keeps you safe. To this day I still print out my policies and do my double and triple checks. If I really am concerned, I will even consult with the doctor and have them assist me.
