    diva rn replied to cacentralvalley's topic in General Nursing

    The writer is NOT a "shock journlist"..he happens to be a physician...and does deal with this issue. I do medical review for insurance reimburance/cost containment...and this is a pretty accurate...

    diva rn replied to PinkRocksLikeMe's topic in General Nursing

  8. Medication given against wishes

    diva rn replied to nurse7272's topic in General Nursing

    True, but I think this all hinges on the fact that the ativan was refused and given against the patients will. Not a good thing. Even if someone gave Koolaide against the patient's will...it's still...

  14. Medication given against wishes

    diva rn replied to nurse7272's topic in General Nursing

    You can not rely on hearsay. Your relative would need to retain an attorney to requisition her medical records. If in fact, she was given Ativan, or any medication, against her will, I believe that...
