And the classics, which you've seen before & continue to haunt the charts:
~ accurate I &O (uh, ya mean I can't make it up?)
~Call MD for significant change in status (doh!)
Oh, I just love those orders, especially the call MD with any significant change in status. Just bugs the daylights out of me.
I love it too when they give us parameters of when to call. I have had orders that say to call for SBP less than 80 (ya, think?), HR greater than 120, resp greater than 28, etc. Give me some credit, for pete's sake.
My other favorite order that goes with the same thing is call abnormal labs (you mean like the K+ of 2.1, or the Na of 115?)
when I drew this to his attention.
