    sjt9721 replied to John123's topic in Texas Nursing

    sjt9721 replied to poppy07's topic in MICU, SICU

  11. Does your hospital give DC instructions to AMA patients

    sjt9721 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    It's always been my practice to give instructions. In my brain, explaining the risks, etc is giving instructions to the patient. I've seen a doc write an antibiotic Rx for an ED patient refusing...
