  15. Is Assessing Gag Reflex Still a Thing?

    Nurse-please replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    Do you assess gag reflex by touching the pharynx with a tongue depressor? I would be so cautious to do that, especially in a patient that’s on a substance or has ETOH on board... I’d be afraid for...

  16. Is Assessing Gag Reflex Still a Thing?

    Nurse-please replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing
