   standardprecautions replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

   We have given a patient whiskey as ordered. It was a controlled portion to help him sleep, apparently. Patients who have the capacity to make decisions can decide whether they want to take alcohol or not even when they are in the hospital. In this ca...

3. 8 or 12 hour shifts
