Going over our dosage calc, I had a thought come up. With peds patients, we have to base the medication dose to give by their weight. What would the dosage be then if a patient was a little person, or dwarf? Would it be the peds dose or an adult dose?

I've been trying to find a good "brain" to create when I'm receiving report. Right when I think I have a good one, I realize there's more information that anticipated and scribble it all down quickly. Before I know it, it's a mess. Any suggestions?

I have wanted to know what it comes down to when having to deal with languages and the health care system. Of course, there are interpreters for languages, but has anyone ever thought about dialects? My husband is from a state in Mexico where they still speak their native dialect from thousands of years ago; there is no written way for it and each town mixes up the lingo. Are there translators for these dialects that I'm sure there are others out there as well? Who translates in that case? Family members? Love to hear some feedback!
