yes i have heard of the term hint. he is being resourceful. while doing his homework ect he is using a very good resource. which is this board. we should be helpful to those who come after us. not just give a hint and hope that they a) find what you expect them to find or b) understand what your telling them in the first place. its better to give a hand and bring them along. give him a link to follow or something. its called mentoring. i appreciate the fact that you are attempting to help him as i am. i just think we should be as helpful as possible.
I disagree. I don't think asking for answers on an internet bulletin board is very resourceful, and I feel no obligation to just hand someone the answer.
well im just a nube at the nursing world(1st year)...we were sort of advance class due to a special(testing) curriculum(four year course and preclinical late 1st year), this constitutes 30% of my grades... so if i dont want to stop taking nursing for 1 year and take the 5 year course i need to give my best shot... maybe you guys noticed but i was working w/ this case for soon to be 24 hours(i have recent posts)..
im not asking for direct answers... i want to understand whats happening...
i know that having infection is a greater threat to the patients life.. but since i cant find the right diagnosis i settled for pain...(since i dont know any, and saying"risk for infection" is not applicable{i think} since he already has infection)...
"Infection,????" then what... i really cant find anything on the net... thus when i saw this site i was eager to ask questions..
no trouble. if you read the posts here this happens. alot. nurses disagree on how to do things all the time. its just the way we are. everyone brings their own flare and methods to the game. if you make it through you will too.
the temp i saw was 37.8 C. the PR of 102 i though was the pulse. that was my take anyway.
ah, maybe indeed....an opening for "dont use unapproved abbr." have never seen or used PR for pulse rate...HR for heart rate, but pulse has always been just "P".....
