  11. pulse oximetry

    EDRN1091 replied to MendedHeart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    okay well those are two different things: CO (carbon monoxide) and CO2. CO does bind to hemoglobin which is its fatal mechanism. Again, I don't know whether that causes false high pulse oximetry but...

    EDRN1091 replied to MendedHeart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    EDRN1091 replied to inutero161's topic in General Students

    as long as you assessed respirations and got a BP beforehand, and the morphine was due, I don't see this as a huge problem. Saying this, however, I don't know enough about your patient to know that...

    EDRN1091 replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Nursing Career

    EDRN1091 replied to dayanara's topic in General Students
