  10. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    gswifty replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    To me, the rational for the F.R. holds great sway as to how far i would go toward leniency. On my TBI unit, where we often treat pt's that are NOT competant or ambulatory, it is easier to restrict...
