Nursing Concepts Live

Interactive Learning for Nursing Students

Nursing Concepts Live is an educational podcast series designed to help nursing students master core clinical concepts through conversation, clinical reasoning, and active recall. Each episode transforms dense textbook and lecture material into engaging, quiz-style discussions between hosts Alex and Jordan.

Instead of passive listening, students are prompted to pause, think, and answer NCLEX-style questions with full rationales. Topics are drawn directly from nursing coursework and include hypertension, perfusion, infection control, elimination, thermoregulation, medications, and real-world clinical scenarios.

The series emphasizes understanding why something happens, not just what it is—connecting pathophysiology, nursing assessments, and priority interventions in a way that builds clinical judgment.

Script written by Eugene Adjetey, curator of Nursing Concepts Live.

The 11 Antihypertensive Classes

Episode 6

Sunday, October 4, 2026 • Duration 06:14

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Episode 6 is ready!

File:

### Episode 6 Overview – The 11 Antihypertensive Classes

Hosts: Alex & Jordan (same voices, witty + clear style)

Big Picture:

Blood pressure = how hard the heart pushes × how tight the pipes are × how much fluid is in the pipes.

All 11 classes covered with:

- Examples

- Mechanism of action (in plain language)

- Key adverse effects

- Practical nursing tips

Classes included:

1. Alpha-adrenergic blockers (doxazosin, tamsulosin)

2. Calcium-channel blockers (amlodipine, diltiazem, verapamil)

3. Thiazide diuretics (hydrochlorothiazide)

4. Potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone)

5. Vasodilators (hydralazine, nitroprusside, nitroglycerin)

6. Cardioselective β-blockers (metoprolol)

7. Nonselective β-blockers (propranolol, sotalol)

8. α1 + β blockers (carvedilol, labetalol)

9. ACE inhibitors (benazepril, lisinopril)

10. ARBs (losartan, valsartan)

11. Loop diuretics (furosemide, bumetanide)

Interactive questions with rationales baked in (first-dose timing, angioedema priority, dry cough, potassium risks).

Listen, pause, answer out loud — this one is built for actual retention. Enjoy Episode 6!

Summary + NCLEX Practice

Episode 5

Saturday, October 3, 2026 • Duration 06:54

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Episode 5 (Summary + NCLEX Practice) is ready!

File:

### Episode 5 Overview – The Witty Grand Finale

Hosts: Alex & Jordan (extra sarcasm and banter dialed up)

What you’ll get:

- Fast, funny recap of Episodes 1–4 (hypertension math → infection/CAUTI → meds → clinical HF scenario)

- Dedicated elimination section (BUN/creatinine, anuria/oliguria, nocturia, fluid restriction myth, fecal impaction)

- Honest (and slightly snarky) explanation of why cranial nerves were skipped — they’re classic A&P, not the med-surg focus of this series

- 5 NCLEX-style questions with full rationales:

1. ACE inhibitor priority finding (angioedema)

2. CAUTI priority action

3. Digoxin toxicity with low potassium

4. Metabolic alkalosis risk (NG suction)

5. DASH/lifestyle teaching — alcohol limit

- Big-picture synthesis connecting afterload, meds, infection control, elimination, and priority thinking

- Closing pep talk with attitude

This one ties everything together, tests you, and keeps the energy high. Listen, answer out loud, and go crush the NCLEX. You’ve got this!

Clinical Reasoning: Hypertension + Heart Failure Scenario

Episode 4

Saturday, October 3, 2026 • Duration 05:58

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Episode 4 is ready!

File:

### Episode 4 Overview – Clinical Reasoning: Hypertension + Heart Failure Scenario

Hosts: Alex & Jordan

This episode walks through the exact patient scenario from your Perfusion notes and answers each question with rationale and real-world examples (not just definitions):

1. What is happening to the patient’s blood pressure?

→ Stage 2 hypertension explained with comparison to normal values.

2. What is happening to afterload?

→ Increased resistance explained with the “stiff balloon” analogy and link to heart failure risk.

3. What might be happening to preload?

→ Fluid overload → increased venous return, with water-balloon stretch example.

4. Why does the patient have crackles?

→ Pulmonary congestion from left-sided backup, with classic auscultation description.

5. Why is this concerning?

→ Worsening heart failure / risk of acute pulmonary edema, with decompensation example.

Plus:

- Full prioritized nursing assessment list with rationale

- Two interactive clinical-judgment questions (desaturation priority + afterload-reducing meds) with explanations

- Clear connection of hypertension → afterload → heart failure → fluid backup

Hypertension & Perfusion Medications

Episode 3

Saturday, October 3, 2026 • Duration 06:47

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Episode 3 is ready!

File:

### Episode 3 Overview – Hypertension & Perfusion Medications

Hosts: Alex & Jordan (same interactive quiz style)

Topics covered:

- Big-picture reminder: BP = CO × SVR (meds as “verbs”)

- Alpha blockers (“-osin”) – first-dose syncope tip

- ACE Inhibitors (“-pril”) – cough, angioedema, hyperkalemia

- ARBs (“-sartan”)

- Beta blockers (selective, nonselective, dual-acting) – apical pulse, asthma caution

- Calcium Channel Blockers (“-dipine” + others) – constipation, more effective in AA patients

- Diuretics – Thiazide, Loop, Potassium-sparing (when to supplement K+)

- Statins – no grapefruit, liver monitoring

- Vasodilators – nitroprusside for hypertensive emergency

- Digoxin – potassium, toxicity signs (halos/green-yellow vision), hold if apical <60

- Nitrates – headache & hypotension

- Memory tips: Beta blockers = slow the HEART | ACE/ARBs = relax the VESSELS | Diuretics = remove FLUID

- Built-in pause-and-think questions on teaching points and assessments

Listen, pause when prompted, answer out loud, and lock in the nursing considerations. Enjoy Episode 3!
