Being an LPN I need reviews from my case charge RN for my PDN PT. Prior to starting my demonstration on changing a trach, I asked my client if they wanted the trach ties changed. The PT doesn't like them messed with and just had a shower with tie change the day prior. The PT refused and it was explained that ties should be changed daily.....with still, a refusal. The charge stated she was going to do it or have it done anyway. So to fast forward, after the change, and respecting the PT wishes, I was told I couldn't be checked off because ties weren't done, and was done incorrectly because of that. The RN was very upset I didn't change them
By the way the PT is 18 with no guardianship.
So was I wrong in honoring the PT wishes, not that it was a past problem with skin breakdown on the neck, and respecting their rights. I did argue my point but it seemed useless.
I'm just frustrated and needed to vent. Did I do this wrong?
