    mvm2 replied to juliepag's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    mvm2 replied to juliepag's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In the care plan I am sure it is in there not that it is ok for him to fall, and have BMs in his bed, but it is in his care plan so that everyone will be aware of these things happening with him. Do...

  5. Is this common practice in LTC/Hospitals?

    mvm2 replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
