I usually ask my PCP, friends, and family. Then I check the state physician license database. They list any judgements and sanctions against the physician. Then I read the online reviews. If you know any nurses that work in that specialty, you ca...

Blaundee, I agree with most of what you say. I disagree with your suggestion that the student should approach the patient about watching her delivery. The patient might feel coerced to agree. Many women would feel uncomfortable saying to someone's ...

Yes. You could solve the problem this way. Wuzzie was trying to get you to reason out how to solve the problem rather than memorizing and applying formulas. Note that your answer is not exactly correct. The correct answer is 20mg x 20ml / 5mg NOT 2...
