I have seen facilities ration out briefs too, but not 3 in 24 hours! Our facility rations out wipes.... always..Which is bad too. If you are out of wipes, you use tp. Even though I personally explained that these incon. patients have looser BM's and the outcome of using TP just results in toilet paper poop balls...but that is another story.
My concern with the posters facility is that no one is taking her seriously, or addressing the issues, just making her feel stupid.

While it is a sad situation, the facility I am currently employed in tries to pull the same thing. The clients have enough briefs to wear, however, when we run out, we are out, until the person ordering decides we need more.
Of course, you see..... we need 10 cases of trach care kits (for ONE person with a trach) instead of briefs, kerlex, lancets, insulin syringes..... you get the picture.....
