    Poor care post surgery

    Nrs_angie replied to bradleau's topic in Nursing

    im just confused... there's alot of mention about the night nurse... I am assuming she didn't start her shift until 2300... so where was the evening nurse that received you immediately post-operatively following PACU... shouldn't the evening nur...

    Changing a patient's diaper while they are standing ?

    Nrs_angie replied to EmBeMap's topic in CNA/MA

    I dont work in LTC, but I work in a hospital... I guess it all depends on the situation... Once a very confused and weak patient was told not to get out of bed with help. The bed check was alarming all night. Once, I went in and she was attem...

    FOCUS ON ABCs AND SAFETY. WHEN YOU NARROW IT DOWN TO TWO CORRECT ANSWERS.. ASK YOURSELF IF EITHER RELATES TO AIRWAY, BREATHING, CIRCULATION OR SAFETY. THOSE ARE VERY HIGH PRIORITY TO THE NCLEX TEST MAKERS.

    Metformin

    Nrs_angie replied to Toothbrushx2's topic in Endocrine

    49 sounds like hypoglycemia to me personally I would hold the metformin and any other oral hypoglycemic meds doesn't matter how long acting the med is... it will cause a further drop in blood sugar if blood sugar comes back up to the 100s ar...

    Would you give 25u Reg Ins IV?

    Nrs_angie replied to Shell5's topic in Endocrine

    I am sure that he meant SQ not IV.... im pretty sure the rule for SQ is you can give up to 30 u of regular insulin SQ. So I would call to clarify the order and route. but actually I work on Med-surg where they do hang Insulin drips... so yes it...
