Re: Concerns: Actions outside of scope of practice

Do I work with you tigermonkey?
I work in Post open heart unit with similar patient population. Apart from the post operative orders that cover a wide array of medication that can be used, we have unit protocols (with more leeway) that allow us to manipulate hemodynamics independently. I appreciate the level of autonomy that we have. As long as you have a sound rationale in your treatment, I believe you will not ‘go to jail’.
