This topic is great!!!! The two things that get me is suctioning and mouth care when there is a lot of gross tings in the mouth like dried ichy mucous, espicially in the mouth of patients with g/tubes. Also any wound that is draining. I took care of a lady that had an infected toe, the MD came in and lanced it, pus and sangrenous material spurted out all over the place, it was gross. I had to leave the room, I was starting to get queazy, the funny thing is I had a student nurse with me that day, she loved it!!!. The doctor asked if I was alright after the procedure. The funny thing is after it was drained and dressed, I was fine.
