   Narcotics

   lamazeteacher replied to mmace's topic in LPN/LVN

   What code,sll12?If a patient codes, the team should be there within minutes, and you can go on with your tasks. Giving meds you wouldn't be expected to stay with a patient who arrests, after the initial first CPR steps. It would be mandatory for the ...
