   catwoman66 replied to misplaced1's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry about the paragraphs...I'm new on here and wasn't thinking about that; didn't realize how long my answers were. Also, I didn't realize the pt. was in long term care...for some reason, I thought we were on a med/surg floor. In LTC, the pt's pot...

   You are welcome. :nuke: I'm new on here, and so I hope I have gotten the quote thing around your reply. By calling the doctor and then the supervisor, you are spreading the liability, it is not completely off of you until you go as high as the Medic...

   This is an older post & I checked on your profile to see if you have been on lately, and it has been over a couple of months. Do you still want answers to the questions you posted?
