Hi all, could anyone tell me what it means to have a guarded prognosis?
I went to the hospital today to collect my pt assignment/information for clinical tomorrow and I read in the doctor's notes that the pt's "prognosis is guarded."
My instructor wasn't there and the unit was busy so it wasn't a good time to ask the nurses. Thanks in advance.
