    LPN_2005/RN_10 replied to LPN_2005/RN_10's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think that was the reason why the CA told the students they couldn't use Impaired Gas Exchange. Something about an ABG had to be drawn. Just to be on the cautious side, I won't use

    LPN_2005/RN_10 replied to ladybugme!'s topic in General Nursing
