How did it work out? please let me know, I am in an identical situation. Thanks so much Rose

what NANDA diagnosis would apply for this excuse my ignorance

Yes, very understandable thank you for that. The patient did have an acute MI.

This is a school book question! At least I know Im not crazy LOL I looked at that for an hour good lord!! I think I am going crazy:no: Thank you for your support

PT/INR 0.6 seconds/1.8 I understand anything over 1 is high for INR and the patient is at risk for bleeding but I cannot find and explanation for reduced PT other than I think the clot forms too rapidly. Am I on the right track. why does this information contradict

That was a lot of work and I appreciate it!

ok great use the starting time 0200 until the 1400 and leave off the rest which would be the 1900.. I think I got it. XO

I am a nursing student. Thank you for the rationale! I am interested in a formula for the equation :p I have figured out that the times are a factor in figuring out this problem. I believe i will start the day at 6am and leave out the 2am?? any clues you can give would be awesome:redbeathe

The clients order is for Vicodin (hydrocodone 5 mg/acetaminophen 500mg) every 4 hours prn. The client has already received two doses of Tylenol 650 mg po for an elevated temperature on the midnight shift (at 0200 hours and 0600 hours) and has had 3 doses of Vicodin (at 0800, 1300, and 1900 hours). How many Vicodin tablets can the client safely recieve today? Please give me an example of how to work this out. Thank you soooo much in advance:redbeathe
