   Calling A Code Death (call police?)

   MunoRN replied to Jcezz's topic in General Nursing

   Anyone who suspects that a death was the result of foul play is allowed to notify the applicable authorities (police) of that concern. Generally speaking, it seems like what you asking is how best to cover up the murder of a patient.

   Calling A Code Death (call police?)

   MunoRN replied to Jcezz's topic in General Nursing

   That is a wildly ignorant statement for a licensed nurse to make. A CNA who feels the need to report a suspicion of illegal activity requires no approval of anyone to report that concern.

   Time management

   MunoRN replied to Cmailes's topic in Critical

   And it's auditors like this that cause nursing time to be taken away from patient care that contributes to patient safety in order to make auditors happy, and causes patient harm solely for the purpose of making these sociopathic "auditors" happy.

   Calling A Code Death (call police?)

   MunoRN replied to Jcezz's topic in General Nursing

   I totally agree with notifying the coroner, the coroner and police are two different entities.

   Calling A Code Death (call police?)

   MunoRN replied to Jcezz's topic in General Nursing

   It's certainly one thing if it's a requirement to notify the police in the event of a patient death. But if you're calling the police to remove suspicion that the patient died as a result of foul play, then it seems that would cause far more suspici...

   Calling A Code Death (call police?)

   MunoRN replied to Jcezz's topic in General Nursing

   I guess I'm not clear if you're saying you called the police after a patient death because you were reporting that the death occurred due to negligence / neglect, or that you wanted the police to somehow verify that this wasn't the cause of the death...

   Not Exactly HIPAA, But Worried I Said Too Much

   MunoRN replied to guest998179's topic in HIPAA

   Correcting someone spreading misinformation about a health issue, particularly a pandemic where that misinformation can cause people to make misinformed decisions that can result in harm or death, is not a violation of your professional practice stan...

   Health Care Workers Settle COVID Shot Mandate for $10.3 Million

   MunoRN replied to InHisImage's topic in COVID

   They might argue religious opposition to the Covid vaccine is different because their religion, MAGAism, didn't exist yet when flu and hep vaccines first came out.

   Calling A Code Death (call police?)

   MunoRN replied to Jcezz's topic in General Nursing

   I haven't heard of getting police involved when no suspicion of a crime occurred, I'm curious how that conversation goes with the officers. Officer: "so what seems to be problem?" Facility staff: "Somebody died and we want you to confirm ...

    Need help, Carbon dioxide vs anion gap for DKA

    MunoRN replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    And it used to be that ketones were the most followed lab, now we don't even check ketone levels. Both anion gap and CO2 on a metabolic panel (which is actually a measurement of bicarbonate, not directly CO2) measure the resulting metabolic acid...

    How to Titrate Levophed?

    MunoRN replied to pi.student's topic in MICU

    It varies widely from patient to patient, it depends on how much their hypotension is beta-driven, how much the increase in afterload caused by increasing the levo affects their cardiac output, etc. This is why orders should allow room to adjust...

    President Biden thread

    MunoRN replied to Beerman's topic in Talk Politics

    And I get that objectively measurable facts really takes the fun out of fact-free bias posing as a reasoned argument.

    President Biden thread

    MunoRN replied to Beerman's topic in Talk Politics

    As your article points out, the annual inflation rate dropped to 8.5%, this is correct. Biden pointed out that the inflation rate change for the month of July was zero, which is also correct. Those are two different things.

    Starting a new IV line

    MunoRN replied to nurseinthemaking24's topic in Critical

    I'm not so much concerned about the little air bubbles in the line as I am with the infernal beeping that will commence 2 minutes after I leave the room if I didn't get every last bit of air out of the secondary port (uppermost port). What I wou...

    What do you think about with current News and Opinions?

    MunoRN replied to guest1163268's topic in Talk Politics

    You've hit the nail on the head when it comes to why "conservatives" should be prohibited from having any role in this process. What the article points out is that without any sort of regulatory price controls, shifting the costs to government p...
