  13. Med Surg Question

    I've been working med-surg for past 10 years, and I love it. The patients consist of all those patients that have had surgery that need to stay overnight postop or longer with the exception of those on a heart monitor. That's the surgical part of med...
  14. From the mouths of non-nurses

    Just about all my male patients call a urinal "the jug;" and I call it making water. Urinate sounds crude and lay people don't know what void is. How do you ask your patients if they are having any difficulties voiding?
