by SuesquatchRN Premium Member

Can someone give a me a quick overview of what this entails? I'm thinking end of life or medication changes?

Thanks a lot.

I agree with iluvivt's description, my unit also gets quite a few sickle cell patients, and lots of reverse isolation due to neutropenia precautions.
