did you know the new rules for falls, this year it goes into effect. if a pt falls the insurance company no longer pays from that moment to d/c on that pt. all medical care is charged to the hospital. but we are still not allowed to restrain for safety purposes. makes you think doesn't it.:wtosts:
don't forget to check for third spacing, it happens often. expecially in post op pt. check flanks, chest, hand and feet don't always show edema, surprises are not fun.
