I was taught that touching/removing the weights would cause the patient so much more pain, so wouldnt touch it

any time after 8pm (until you finish your shift) is 25%. Weekends 50% Public Holidays 100%

I've only ever pronounced it byu-kill

Hi, I'm currently a nursing student. I'm really unsure, but would feel stupid asking in class... When someone goes to the toilet using the commode chair, do they wipe themselves, or do you need to? I get that they should be able to do it themselves if their arms arent injured, but the armrests look like they could get in the way? Also, when they use a bedpan where they can just lift up their hips and you put it under/remove, do you still need to wipe? I know if they roll you do, but not sure about this! Thanks

No, client was not on any medication for blood pressure. She didn't seem to believe me when I said it seemed a bit high. I still put it in documentation, and told her she might want to consult her GP or health professional in the village. I too thought above 140 in older adults seemed a bit high!

I am a Student nurse in NZ. We have learnt that the expected range for blood pressure was 100-130/60-90 mmHg. When I took my clients blood pressure (86 y.o), I got systolic pressure as 170. When I said this was a bit high (she is a previous doctor), she said that was expected, and that systolic should be 100 + clients age. My clinical lecturer agreed that it wasnt too high, Is this correct? Thanks
