Keep Cards Simple
Each card should test one idea. Instead of listing every sign of shock, make separate cards for causes, compensatory signs, and treatment. Simple cards are faster to review and easier to master.
Use Both Directions
Practice from term to definition and from description to term. For example, a card might describe a patient with pale, cool skin and ask what stage of shock is likely. Add images where useful, such as rhythm strips.
Separate Known From Unknown
Move cards you know well into a known pile and review them less often. Focus most of your time on cards that you miss. Revisit known cards periodically to confirm they remain strong.
