It's not safe to take the IV pump into the shower - it's an electrical device and those don't play well with water! If the pt can't be disconnected from whatever's infusing for 10 minutes, then they...

"Thank you for thinking of me. Unfortunately, living there wouldn't work with my budget." Does she want you to be her daughter's roommate, or to live in a different apartment at the same location?

Thank you for saying this. I am tired of hiding my education light under a bushel because I don't want to upset people who seem to feel threatened by it!
