Calm down and take a deep breath. It is ok. You didn't cause any harm to a pt. We all get busy and forget things sometimes. You will not be in trouble

There's no way you'd be in trouble for this. Where I come from incontinence pads and diapers aren't even allowed to be used together. Your choice is either the pad or the diaper kept open and placed under the patient.
