  1. Trauma Naked?

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    this is a very interesting topic. for most people it must appear rather stupid for a trauma victim to be refusing emergency room procedures. by putting myself in such a hypothetical situation, i can...

  2. Trauma Naked?

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    if a patient involved in a trauma presented to the emergency room, relatively calm and coherent, and during the examination told you that he did not want part of the workup done, what then would be...

  3. consent and refusal issues

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to J.R.theR.N2b's topic in General Nursing

    thanks to all for your advice and your concern. the prevailing thought was to deal with my claustrophobia now while i am able. i have been claustrophobic all my life, but as time passes it is becoming...

  4. consent and refusal issues

    J.R.theR.N2b posted a topic in General Nursing

    this is in reference to an old post concerning the effects being claustrophobic may have upon a patient's ability to tolerate certain procedures. i am very, severely claustrophobic to the point of...

  5. Spin Off: Nurse abuse?

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in General Nursing

    this thread is very interesting to me. i agree that a nurse has every right not to be hit at, kicked at, or otherwise abused. however, the patient is not in "normal mode" here. they most likely are...

  6. Trauma Naked?

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    for those who readily agree that what happened to the original poster was necessary, i find it very difficult to disagree with you. however, the comment from "spidey'smom" that her and her co-workers,...

  7. What do I do...I witnessed pt. physical abuse

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to abnurse's topic in General Nursing

    this was indeed unfortunate. i understand completely that a patient who has overdosed on over 73 pills in a suicide attempt is most definitely incompetent and must be treated. it was mentioned in one...

  8. Male Urologic Dilemma

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    your response makes one think that the original poster is simply "choosing" to allow his concern for modesty prevent him from treating a possibly serious condition unless attended by all male staff....

  9. Urine Drugscreens without pt's permission?

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    for what reasons would someone object to a drug screen? in the case of a needle stick, isn't the only information sought that which the nurse would need to protect themselves? and aren't the results...

  10. consent question

    J.R.theR.N2b posted a topic in General Nursing

    my sister, brother, and i were discussing the subject of individual rights. the discussion ended when a question which noone could answer. a male patient is in the hospital and his physician has...

  11. patient capacity

    J.R.theR.N2b posted a topic in General Nursing

    being a beginning student i have been exposed to very little except classroom attendance. the question of determining a patient's capacity to consent to or refuse treatment options seems a very...

  12. ER RN Angry & Frustrated!!!

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to Ginger35's topic in Emergency

    i realize i am a little late commenting on this thread, but something that "chaya" said caught my attention. they state that the worst case scenario if patient were boarded and whose spine was later...

  13. Afraid of inserting NGs?

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to peace_solace's topic in General Nursing

    i realize that this would make the entire experience a whole lot worse for the student, but do the patients ever complain about having to endure such a nasty procedure a second time? this would also...

  14. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    if i approach being hospitalized from the viewpoint of the patient, i would want to run the show and do exactly as i please. however, you are in the hospital because you are either sick or injured to...

  15. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    being a beginning student i have not yet had the opportunity to actually do these procedures i have read about and studied. this particular thread has been very informative to me as this the area of...

  16. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    it has been very interesting to read the posts on whether or not nurses are pushy. based on my own experience as a triple coronary bypass patient, i do not feel the nurses were pushy at all. on my...

    J.R.theR.N2b posted a topic in General Nursing

    i am a new member of the forum and have a question about foley catherizations. have never done one or witnessed any, but am curious about the typical reaction of a male patient to being catherized? it...
