It's a competent patient's right to eat in whatever position they want, and it's our responsibility to ensure that the patient's rights are being honored. In general it's not really possible for a...
What sort of unnecessary information are they asking for? I find it useful sometimes to spend some extra time in report on one day to discuss what information should be, and shouldn't be in report,...
I'm with you on this part; just like before the ACA, insurers are allowed to keep their premium costs low by preferentially doing business with providers that can provide services at a reasonable...
I think maybe we confuse different types of "customer satisfaction" survey's. Press-Ganey, along with other vendors, offer generic customer satisfaction surveys which don't really have much to do...
Again, I think you're conflating chest pain with a STEMI patient. If he was a STEMI he would have been sent to Methodist anyway since the VA hospital isn't a STEMI center (which would explain why...
I'd argue that if you have the ability to suppress your ethical/moral concerns on a regular basis then you shouldn't be taking these patients. The use of ECMO in patients for whom there is little...
Maybe I read your post wrong, but Washington's natural death act states that measure to provide comfort cannot be withheld, not life prolonging treatment. Medical futility can still be declared on...

I know people who've breastedfed/pumped at all three (not a Giants game specifically, but at a baseball game), although I'm not sure that your comparisons are accurate. It's acceptable to hang out in...

I'm by no means a 'lactivist', I'm as uncomfortable with public boob sucking (whether natural or mechanical) as any other middle aged man, but I have absolutely no problem with a patient's daughter...
You're trying to put your parents, in their late 70's, on your non-medicare plan? That's typically not possible, insurers aren't really interested in covering medicare age people with plans priced...
Employers are only required to offer insurance, they aren't penalized if you chose to opt out of their insurance, so long as the insurance they offered met the minimum requirements (covered at least...
You need consent to give any medication, regardless of route. You can give a medication without consent, although there are various rules/regulations that have to be followed depending the situation,...
Insurance premiums have been steadily rising for a long time. If your insurance didn't go up at all until now then it sounds like you were overdue and I'm surprised it only went up that much, but it...
I'm all for doing away with employer sponsored coverage and just putting us all the exchanges, or in single payer, although I don't think we're near convincing conservatives of that. In the meantime,...
Sort of, it's an un-enforced federal law in respect to medical marijuana and recreational marijuana in the two states where it's legal for recreational use. So if we define laws by what you'll face...
That wouldn't really be any different than how it typically works. Drug tests don't typically differentiate between drug use at work and drug use on days off or on vacations, they just test for any...
The fluid level in the secondary set and bag will go down to the level of the fluid in the primary bag, so since when properly set up you will usually end up with some air in the secondary set when an...
I can't make any promises, but I really doubt that particular question would appear on the NCLEX. The questions are more aimed at how you apply your knowledge and the thought processes involved. But...
