Situation: On the psych units at Wrongway Regional Medical Center, 15 minute Patient Safety Round Forms are completed on the MN shift. Copies of the completed forms are made for the house supervisor to pick up when she visits the units and the original is placed in each patient's chart, usually by the charge nurse.
The house supervisor comes to the geriatric psych unit while all staff members are out on the floor providing direct patient care and finds two stacks of the completed Patient Safety Round Forms in the nurses station:
Since black ink is used for charting, it is difficult to determine which stack are the originals and which stack are the copies.
Which stack of forms should the house supervisor take with her?

Okay, this is going to take some 'splainin', Lucy...
Back when I worked at Mixed Nuts Health Systems, there was a calendar that hung in a conference room. My guess is that somebody at sometime had removed the calendar, so somebody else wrote a note on a post-it, complete with an arrow, and placed it next to the calendar.
I read the note and added my own post-it note, complete with an arrow, to assure adherence to the first post-it note:
Fridgett, a great LPN, gathered up the patient safety round forms, copied them, and placed post-its upon each stack indicating which stack had the originals and which stack had copies.
I added the arrows to see how the house sup would handle the situation.

Please don't feel stupid, Daisy. Seeing the loose esoteric connection there would be like winning a game of mental chess with the Bobby Fisher of schizophrenics!
And being the extraordinarily funny person you are means never having to say, "you know I was just kiddin'"!

I was in medical records at Mixed Nuts Health Systems back in 2002, looking through a client's chart. I wanted to note something and couldn't think of the name of those sticky yellow pieces of paper.
I asked the secretary, "Could I have one of those... oh you know... 'pasties'?" She laughed and said, "Do you mean Post-Its?" I replied, "Yeah- that's what I mean!" I paused, looked pensively and asked, "What is a 'pastie' anyway?" She said, "It's those things strippers wear over their boobs".
So, the OldDude has a point: The house sup should take both of the Post-Its in case she decides to be a stripper who uses Post-Its instead of pasties!
I just wanted to say that I’m deeply disappointed that there was no option
D. Take post-its in case emergency pastie needed. ??
In fact, I think hospitals should all have pastie codes. “CODE GLITTER 8TH FLOOR, ROOM 3”! I mean, you never know when you might need them! ???Some days I swear I should’ve been a stripper...but I’m fat and can’t dance! ????♀️

Make sense...
...Daisy?
Yep, makes sense now, thanks!
But don't keep us in suspense, which one did she take?

I believe I failed to mention that this situation inspired a comic in the entertainment section of a local rag, The Anomaly Telegraph:
