How to Use This With Me

Whenever you're studying a topic from any of these units, just ask me - for example:

"Explain the nursing management of heart failure"
"What are the signs of a GI bleed and how is it managed?"
"How do you perform a thoracentesis?"
"Describe the pathophysiology of sickle cell anaemia"

I'll pull from the relevant textbooks above to give you detailed, textbook-backed answers. What topic would you like to start with?
