All of us are not like that. Stay on here and you will learn a lot. Some days your queations will be answered in the best way possible,sometimes not. Maybe you could of posted in the diabetes education forum(I thinks that's the name,I'm not sure) it actually does make us look bad. Imagine being on website asking a question and the type of responses. You got of taste of what it is to be a nurse on the floor,just by being on a nurse website.

But hey,asking a clinical question sure does beat looking at those "beating dead horse threads" were the same question gets asked over and over.

Really? Someone asks what is essentially a test question and when people politely direct him where to go to look up the answer, he insults them, and you're appeasing him? "We're not all like that" ?? The guy got his knickers in a twist because they didn't spoon-feed him the answer to make it easy on him. Wah. Poor thing.

The patient is def. dehydrated and on lasix. I was thinking blood cultures or urinalysis.

Why is a dehydrated patient on lasix?
