For anyone reading please look up the TUG test (Time Up and Go). It appeared on my practice exam (AANP) and the actual exam. I had never heard of this before. Hope this helps someone!
I am 3 videos in and really enjoying this review. I am sitting again in 2 weeks, I have already completed the Fitzgerald and Leik review. This is very straight forward and the mnemonics are very helpful. I wish I would have found you last year when I had to retake.
Another way to think of Herberden's and Bouchard's is H is distal (DIP) to the start of the alphabet where B is proximal (PIP) to the start. Also important to know to are specific lumbar root findings: L3-L4 - will have quadricep weakness with diminished or absent patellar reflexes. Screening for L3-L4 includes squat test. L4-L5 - will have weakness or dorsiflexion of great toe and foot, pain radiating to lateral calf, or numbness of dorsum of foot and/or lateral calf. Screening test includes having patient walk on heels. L5-S1 - will have plantar flexion of great toe and foot with diminished or absent achilles reflex, pain along buttocks, numbness to lateral foot and/or posterior calf. Screening test includes having patient walk on toes. Hope this is helpful to someone!
Thank you for making these videos! I am doing the Walden Crash Course and she said acetaminophen is first-line for OA. Is that for mild OA and then you move up to NSAIDS for moderate or severe?

I remember Bouchard as brass knuckles.
good one!
So amazing! I never paid for a crash course, just studied using resources like this and passed my boards on the first try!!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this amazing resource! I have been reviewing your postings for the AANP test, so thankful for everything!
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck to you!
I’m only 5 minutes in and grateful for this!

Thank you so much for your information.
I like listening to your lectures. Thank you!!!
You are very welcome!
Love the colors, pneumonics, and images! We are very similar in our study style. This will definitely help me on my AGNP boards!
Glad it was helpful!
