error in the fluid balance sheet

Published

I am a nursing student and I got a little confused about clearing the IV pumps at the end of the shift.

I made a mistake of writing down the amount of volume to be infused instead of total volume infused in the fluid balance sheet. Is this a big deal and am I going to be getting into trouble? I feel really nervous about this. Any comments would be appreciated! Thanks!

First of all you don't have a license so your CI will be the one to answer it but that's not the point. You commit an error so as anyone. Just approach your CI calmly and nicely ask them what is the best you can do about the errors you made :redpinkhe
