    Monica RN,BSN posted a topic in Home Health

  16. Acls Online

    Monica RN,BSN replied to Surgical Hrt RN's topic in General Nursing

    Monica RN,BSN replied to CTonkinRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree with above poster. Find out why they have them. If they are used for seizures, it is obviously a bad plan. Persons have been known to bite so hard in a full fletched seizure to break their jaw...
