Stupid Question Needs Quick Answer

Updated Oct 06, 2009 at 10:09 PM by franharmon

I take my exam in the morning and I just realized something. I don't know which patient is which. When looking at the names outside the door, is the top name the patient closest to the door? Which bed is which?

Actually, I am referring to long term care residents.

In my LTC facility, the top name outside the door is the resident/bed closest to the door.
