  3. hyponatremia question- please help!

    Thanks for your response, wish_me_luck! Sorry, I should have clarified! I am wondering if I was wrong to give the Tolvaptan (the med to increase the sodium level). I actually called the nephrologist back to confirm that it was really D5W that he want...

  7. IV compatibility question?

    kelrn215: Sorry I forgot to mention in my original post! I had called the doctor after he left and had written other orders, because the patient pulled out her iv's and was confused. She had a hx of dementia and I wanted to ask if he would like to or...
