  1. nurse's error--yikes?

    studentrnstudent posted a topic in General Nursing
    Hi, I am a new student nurse and today I followed a nurse during her shift. At the end of the day she noticed that the fluids that had run all day were wrong. The patient was hospitalized for intracranial hemorrhage (admitted 4 days prior) and had a massive headache with some spatterings of confused behavior on previous days. The correct fluid was supposed to be D5 normal saline with 20 meq of KCl. The fluid that was given was D5 half normal saline (.45), no KCl. All I can find online is "don't give hypotonic fluids" for risk of cerebral edema. I'll never be on that unit again and have no idea what will happen to this patient. Anybody have any experience with this?? The bag was more than half empty but who knows how many bags had been run!
