    NurseCherlove replied to Clarise's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to signing off the MAR at the time I place each pill in the cup, I also tell the A&O patients what I am putting in the cup as I am putting them in. That way, they can ask me "what is...

    NurseCherlove replied to nckayaker's topic in Emergency
