GI and Renal Nursing Cheat Sheets | Med Surg Study Guide | Ostomy, Cirrhosis, Kidney Disease, Dialysis | NCLEX Review Printable

GI and renal in one place: what to assess, what to report first, and what to teach.

This 28-page cheat sheet bundle covers the gastrointestinal and renal systems in plain language, with tables, memory tricks and priority red flags on every topic. I'm Anna, RN, BSN, PHN, a nurse educator and former nursing instructor. I've been helping nursing students pass their exams through NurseStudy.Net since 2012. This guide is part of my body-system series and pairs well with my Cardiac + EKG Cheat Sheets.
