   Again with the ad hominems about people with DNRs needing an additional mental health exam. Knock it tf off. Enough, already. And yes, in California, you do have to abide, or pass the patient on to someone who will. You have no right to resusci...

   So if a seemingly healthy 25 year old is rolled in with some minor injuries and has a DNR bracelet, in the state of California, and this person stops breathing, you HAVE to adhere to that physicians order and NOT resuscitate them. Not to change...

10. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and I had initially called the agency after 15 minutes of pleading with mr tantrumer to let me give him care, and him refusing for reasons that just defy all understanding. To the point that the case worker has been involved multiple times. ...

11. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I deal with home care, so we don't have guards and security cameras and alarm buttons. We also don't have an actual nurse on site to recommend chemical restraints, but my violent one was already prescribed those. Her husband just told her it wa...

    Surfin USA replied to guest1143647's topic in HIPAA

    Its not a HIPAA violation in itself to have someone elses records with you in someone elses home. The violation is failing to make a reasonable effort to protect the other patients privacy. In home health care, we providers have to carry ...
