  5. Are nurses behind in their knowledge?

    questionsforall replied to guest64485's topic in General Nursing

    questionsforall replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Nursing

    questionsforall replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe he is in SIDH. His sodium was low, maybe his sodium was correcting too quickly with the LR. Why did they use LR. I thought it should never be used in a patient with lactic acidosis (which the...
