2025 Nursing NCLEX - Cardiology, Respiratory & Circulation

Identify lung sounds and their meanings using the stethoscope, from normal and bronchial to wheezes and crackles, to guide COPD, pneumonia, and asthma diagnosis and management.

Interpret arterial blood gases by evaluating pH, PaCO2, PaO2, and HCO3 to diagnose acidosis or alkalosis, distinguish respiratory from metabolic causes, and guide therapy to optimize oxygen delivery.

Demystify respiratory terminology by exploring upper and lower airways and alveoli, and build fluency in prefixes, suffixes, and abbreviations for clear communication about gas exchange, pathology, and care.

Master the blood, lymphatic, and immune systems through medical terminology, including key word parts, homeostasis, anatomy, pathology, and practical applications in transfusion, hematology, and immunology.

Discover how the respiratory system enables oxygen intake and carbon dioxide expulsion, and explore asthma, COPD, pneumonia, lung cancer, and TB with prevention and management strategies.

Explore common pulmonary diseases from asthma and COPD to pneumonia and lung cancer. Learn about bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, pleural and mediastinal disorders, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and solitary pulmonary nodules.

Decode cardiovascular terminology, mastering word parts to discuss the heart, arteries, veins, capillaries, and blood components; apply practical usage across exams, imaging, and patient education.

Explore key cardiac terms, anatomy, conduction, heart sounds, and electrocardiography interpretation to support concise clinical communication about angina, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and coronary artery disease.

Examine cardiac and respiratory medications, including diuretics, statins, antihypertensives, anticoagulants, digoxin, nitroglycerin, inhaled corticosteroids, bronchodilators, anticholinergics, and leukotriene modifiers, their uses and side effects.

This lecture covers sick sinus syndrome and sinus node dysfunction, including sinus pauses and sinus arrest, plus first to third degree AV blocks, their ECG features, and pacing indications.

Discover the four pillars of hfref therapy— angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and beta blockers— and the promise of rapid, personalized dosing.

Learn about type two diabetes risk factors, diagnosis with HbA1c, and microvascular and macrovascular complications, plus prevention, monitoring, insulin therapy, and modern medications under NICE guidelines.

Explore the lymphatic system's immune defense, fluid balance, and fat absorption, including nodes, vessels, spleen, and thymus, and cover lymphedema, lymphoma, lymphangitis, and lymphadenopathy with treatments.

Explore lymphatic, circulatory, and digestive diseases from lymphomas to hypertension, cad, stroke, gerd, ibd, and colorectal cancer, and review treatments like chemotherapy, antiretrovirals, dmards, and surgery.

Explore the circulatory system, the heart, arteries, veins, and blood, and learn how hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke, and deep vein thrombosis threaten health.

Explore lymphatic, circulatory, and digestive diseases, including lymphoma, leukemia, hypertension, CAD, CHF, DVT, stroke, GERD, IBD, colorectal cancer, hepatitis, and pancreatitis, with treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies.

Explore the lymphatic, circulatory, and digestive systems, covering lymphomas, leukemias, lymphedema, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, GERD, IBD, ulcers, hepatitis, and pancreatitis.

Understand the circulatory system, including the heart, arteries, veins, and blood. Identify coronary artery disease, hypertension, stroke, deep vein thrombosis, anemia, congenital defects, and prevention and management.
