    Davey Do replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    Focusing on the pain med management is a little off the mark. Having been in a similar situation as a patient at about the same age with, among others, multiple orthopedic surgeries, a slight...

    Was I in the Right Here?

    Davey Do replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding Hoosier's post, I informing the patient that his pain med regime needs to be managed would have been a good tact in de-escalating the patient's outburst. For example, saying something...
