  2. Worried about my charting-poor choice of words?

    Hmmm..it might have conformed to the shape of the container? But it wasnt super loose...it did not smell like C-Diff though...did not look mucousy or have any blood..seemed not loose/soft enough to be C-Diff..pt was on antibiotics...I just wish I men...

  6. i feel trapped. i need help!

  9. Worried! Phone in prescription
