If one of your client has stopped his medication and you notice his glucose levels have risen significantly, and you want to tell the cardiologist that he stopped his med, but the client has requested you not to tell his cardiologist, do you have to honor the request? why or why not.

We are happy to help but we need to know what your research has revealed to you. What do you think?

Yes, you the nurse have the right to share the information with the cardiologist if s/he is part of the healthcare team only.

Have you heard the word collegiality in fundamentals which means to work as a team member and communicate with other health care professionals to provide quality of care for the patient. So this is not a HIPAA violation

loveofrn has been very nice to you.....in the future please remember that we ask ALL students to do their research on their own and post what the research has revealed to them....FIRST. Here at AN we support students becoming the best nurse they can be. Having good research skills is important to a nurse in her everyday practice.

We do not do homework....we help guide others so they may become the best nurse they can be.

People here will often say, "We won't do your homework for you."

I actually will... but if you can afford my rates, you probably don't need to go to nursing school.

What a wonderful idea. Hope you had a high average to command such premium rates. ;)

And to be clear, if MichelleMarie is willing to pay travel time and expenses... and arrange for the make-up artist, I'll travel out of state to take all her exams for her... sit for the NCLEX on her behalf... even interview for her... of course, she might get a better job than I have so I might refuse to return her nursing identity to her.

Probably safer to follow Esme's admonitions.

Dang it... I'd better call and offer myself up for an extra shift tonight.
