Dumb question: How do you move a pt w/ left side hip fracture to the restroom?

[J-Swish]

Usually, we have bed pans and whatnot but this pt is rather very young and would like some privacy. How do I transfer this pt to the restroom if he's wheelchair/chair bound?

It's been years and I forgot. It seems logical on what I what I have to do but I want to be sure with you fine men and women of AN.

BQ: And how do you administer PO meds if they're suppose to be supine position?

[K+MgSO4, BSN]

If the patient has had surgery and is still ordered bed rest, she/he will likely still have a Foley.

Not all the time our ortho surgeons do not put routinely put foleys in or order them as they require IV gentamycin pre insertion and pre removal

At your facility patients are getting doses of IV gent just because they have had a Foley? Interesting.

anybody who is allowed to transfer to a wheel chair can transfer to a bedside commode.
