Assigned Critical Element question

Published

First i apologize for so many questions im asking here lately!! But i have yet another one :o

In the sg it reads under mobility critical element:

You are not required to perform any critical elements in mobility that does not pertain to your patient (based on assignment and patient condition). I dont get what this means??:confused:

So the critical elements for mobility, if assigned, are to assess and record level of mobility, use of assistive devices, and presence of balance abnormalities. These are to be assessed in every pcs. Is this correct??

I guess i am not seeing where the mneumonics are made from, what portion is to be pervormed on EACH pcs and which are only to be done if assigned by the CE. Any help puh-lease!

Again- im sorry so many questions!!

Yeah I have that e-mail printed out in my binder... I am wondering if it is a delay from the holiday. If I don't get it sometime tonight I guess tomorrow morning I will call them and ask, maybe they can give us a tracking number or something, I have to work all weekend and I have A&P next week so I was hoping to have it done by Friday.

Im going to call tomorrow morning if I don't get it tonight too. I leave for Hawaii on Friday so I was really hoping to get it today to start working on it! I guess it's a good thing I'm not busy at work this week so I can knock it out tomorrow and Thursday!! I hear it only takes about a day or so. I may need to pull an all nighter if need be! Let me know if y'all get it!

Just an update- ec said this amthat due to the holiday the packets were a bit behind bc ups does not deliver on wkends (???) I was told we had three days leeway 6/10-13 to send it in regardless. So we should all be getting them today. Apparently several students had called by 740am!

I e-mailed them this morning and got a tracking number, she said I should have it by the end of the day. My friend called me this morning panicking cause she didn't get hers and wanted to know if I got mine, LOL. I think there was alot of us waiting for the mail yesterday :-)
