Why does Ambien and a b-blocker magnify the effect of lowering BP and HR, especially when pt's BP and HR were within normal parameter initially?

Let's say you have a bag of PRBC about 370cc. But receive not instructions from the doctor as to how long to infuse the blood. You know the tubing is 10gtts/min. Do you assume the infusion is about 2hrs to get the rate? Then you count the drops to exactly 31 in a minute. This bag is hung to gravity. [(370cc/2hr)*10gtts)\]/60min = 31gtts/min

Do we hold Ace (Diovan, Cozaar, lisinpril) and B-adrenergic blockers (Coreg, metoprolol) prior to transfusion in clients with low baseline BPs (ie 80/40)?

I wear sketchers shapups too and my feet still hurt. I have two different types of foot massagers and they have helped me tremendously. One foot massager goes us to my knees and works heaven like an scd. The other one pounds on the bottom of my feet.

Look around you to see how many nurses actually use a stethoscope to assess respiration before documenting pt's respiration.
