    redhead_NURSE98! replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    They do this at the hospital too, show up on day 5 of an admission and tell us EVERYTHING we've done wrong, and how "his sheets haven't been changed for 5 days." And how long have you been here to...

    You piggyback a piggyback onto the fluids, as long as its compatible with Zosyn. If not its timed in between the Zosyn infusions. I can't believe I didn't look it up at work. I think it's 4hours on 2...

    Well my question is, if the incontinence is able to be "cleaned up right away," why can't the patient go to the bathroom "right away?" All signs point to a resident sitting in their incontinence...
