Pica

It's strange what cravings people will have with pica. My sister has three kids (5, 4, & 2) and with each one of her pregnancies, she craved sand. Couldn't be just any sand either, had to be extremly light in color and taste a certain way. She said she and her ex would drive around for hours looking for the right spot. The same time she told me this, she also told me that our mother had told her that while she was pregnant with us kids, she craved grass (not the one you smoke ) All I can say is that I'm glad that whatever causes pica completely missed me.

I don't understand. After you received a warning not to give the patient baby powder, apparently because staff knew she had pica; you gave it to her. And then left her alone with a full bottle of it. ??
