Thank you!!

Thank you so much. I think that I did well with this assignment. I will let you know how it turned out. I missed this post until today, and I turned my assignment in on Sunday. i think that I put most of this in.:) I really have to open that critical thinking box in my head. The hinges are a bit rusty, but I think that it won't be too much longer.

This really helps quite a bit. I am beginning to think that there are not 8 specific, maybe she just wants 8. I have chosen to do my focused assessment on the head, including airway. I think that my secondary assessment would be on the chest and abd because of the mechanism of injury. would this be appropriate based on the scenario presented? i feel like I am missing something, this just seems too easy.

I just worked with an agency nurse that worked at good sam. he asid that they have unrealistic expectations of their nurses related to the hospital being so new, and aiming for best in the nation. He was in ICU though. My hubby had surgery there and they were absolutely wonderful. it is really beautiful

I am a nursing student working on my BSN. I currently work in a hospice as an RN. I am working on a pediatric case study and I have a couple of questions. The studey is about an eight year old boy that was hit by a car at 40mph. he has head and facial trauma. No obvious fractures. Awake and confused. GCS is 9 breathing sonorous and slow all vss. he is at an rural hospital not designated as a pediatric trauma center. I have completed the focused assessment. My instructor is asking for 8 specific questions to ask the patient. The patient is confused though, it seems as if I would ask parents and the EMS team questions. I cannot find 8 questions anywhere. Are there 8 specific questions for pediatric triage of a head injury?

Please send me the sample letter. I am interested in following up with this
