   kek5931 replied to kek5931's topic in General Nursing

   Everything in the cart, whatever may be there; syringes, dressings, ekg electrodes, unopened packages of IV start supplies, IV tubings, IV bags, blood draw supplies, ABG kits, anything and everything even if the patient has not been deemed 'infected'...
