Example Nursing Flashcards

Front

A patient weighing 70 kg is prescribed dopamine at 5 mcg/kg/min. The IV bag contains 400 mg in 250 mL D5W. What is the drip rate in mL/hr?

Back

Dose = 5 mcg/kg/min x 70 kg = 350 mcg/min. Concentration = 400,000 mcg / 250 mL = 1,600 mcg/mL. Rate = 350 / 1,600 = 0.219 mL/min x 60 = 13.1 mL/hr.

Front

What are the five components of a focused respiratory assessment?

Back

1) Inspection: chest symmetry, respiratory effort, accessory muscle use. 2) Palpation: tactile fremitus, chest expansion. 3) Percussion: resonance vs. dullness. 4) Auscultation: breath sounds in all lobes. 5) Pulse oximetry and respiratory rate.

Front

What are the signs of digoxin toxicity and the priority nursing action?

Back

Signs: nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances (yellow-green halos), bradycardia, dysrhythmias. Priority: hold the dose, check serum digoxin level (therapeutic: 0.5-2.0 ng/mL), check potassium (hypokalemia increases toxicity), notify provider.

Why Use Flashcards for Nursing?

NCLEX-Focused Content

Generate flashcards that align with NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN content areas including safe care, health promotion, and physiological integrity.

Pharmacology Made Manageable

Turn dense drug information into focused cards covering mechanisms, side effects, nursing considerations, and patient education.

Clinical Skills Review

Create cards from clinical procedure guides and assessment techniques to reinforce hands-on learning.

Priority and Delegation Practice

Generate scenario-based cards to practice nursing prioritization, delegation, and clinical decision-making.

Study Anywhere

Export to Anki or Quizlet and review between clinical rotations, during commutes, or in short breaks.

Nursing Study Tips

  1. 1

    Focus your flashcards on NCLEX priority topics: safety, infection control, pharmacology, and delegation.

  2. 2

    Create cards from your clinical rotation experiences — real patient scenarios are the best learning material.

  3. 3

    Use mnemonics on your flashcards for lab values and drug classifications (e.g., ACE inhibitors end in '-pril').

  4. 4

    Study drug cards in groups by classification rather than individually to see patterns in mechanisms and side effects.

  5. 5

    Review cards daily in short sessions to build the automatic recall needed for timed NCLEX questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Klarrity help with NCLEX preparation?
Yes. Klarrity can generate flashcards from any NCLEX review resource, practice question rationale, or nursing textbook. The active recall format closely mirrors how NCLEX tests your knowledge.
Is Klarrity useful for pharmacology in nursing school?
Absolutely. Pharmacology is one of the highest-yield areas for flashcards. Klarrity can extract drug names, mechanisms, side effects, and nursing considerations from any online drug reference.
Can I create flashcards from my nursing lecture slides?
If your lecture slides are available online (e.g., in your school's LMS), you can highlight content and generate flashcards. You can also paste content into any webpage tool and use Klarrity from there.
How do I study drug calculations with flashcards?
Create cards with calculation problems on the front and step-by-step solutions on the back. Klarrity can generate these from practice problem sets found online. Repetitive practice with spaced repetition builds the speed needed for exams.
