MedSurg II Immune & Connective Tissue Disorders Compass Cards + Audio Companion

Review immune and connective tissue disorders through focused visual prompts and an Audio Companion for another study pass. The Basecamp Compass Immune & Connective Tissue Disorders Compass Cards + Audio Companion pairs 18 cards with listening review for nursing students studying Med-Surg II.

Each card organizes the subject into Pattern, Recognize, Check and Connect, Priority, Escalate and Remember. Use that sequence to connect immune mechanisms with the findings you notice, the assessment information you need and the nursing concerns that follow. Choose one card for a short review or compare several related conditions.

Topics include innate versus adaptive immunity, hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, autoimmune flares and laboratory interpretation. Review corticosteroid and immunosuppressant safety, biologic infection precautions, lupus, lupus nephritis, rheumatoid arthritis and joint protection. Continue through systemic sclerosis and renal crisis, Raynaud phenomenon, Sjogren syndrome, myositis, vasculitis, giant cell arteritis and HIV care.

Explain your priority before checking the card, then return to the subject through audio during a listening session. The collection emphasizes assessment, prescribed care, clinical context and timely escalation. Medication safety includes weekly rheumatologic methotrexate dosing, and emergency prompts highlight airway, renal, vision and infection concerns.

Includes the Compass Cards PDF and Audio Companion. Use alongside your course materials and instructor guidance. The full Trail Kit adds the Trail Guide, printable and fillable Retrieval Maps, and Campfire Challenges.
