i was told that there should always have a baseline ptt before starting the gtt, so I was questioning was the d dimer elevation not basis enough to start the gtt? i'm not really familiar with this test and accdg. to the doctor the pt might be having p.e.. i'm so concerned bcoz i got written up by my nurse manager becoz there's no ind verification on my heparin gtt before. and this being HEPARIN makes me so paranoid

pt . wasn;t on any anti coagulants, she came in wih chest pain. there was an order for ptt before we start the drip but the results aren,t out yet. since this is change of shift, tne nurse getting the pt., told me she'll follow up onlabs. two days after the incident she told me that we shoud've informed the nsg supervisor accdg to the clinical specialist and another RN told me that heparin gtt must always have a baseline PTT:crying2:

so scared , started heparin gtt without baseline ptt, with doctors order to start, basis was elevated D-dimer,will I get fired?
