Be helpful to each other. Haven't most of us experienced enough backbiting and negativity at work? And please don't use the phrase "eating our young". People that "eat their young" are just nasty people who are difficult to get along with. They are in every profession, every walk of life, and not just nursing. ~ Daytonite

    Need chest tube basics

    Because continuous bubbling means there is a leak in the system and therefore the chest tube is not able to do its job. Yes, it is supposed to bubble, but only on expiration when the lung is releasing air from the pleural space.

    The problem is that the care plan is about the mother. You can't mix up mother and baby problems on one care plan.
