   inane replied to inane's topic in Student Assist

   Yeah an RN suggested using a placebo once too, but it was well-intentioned. The patient was really, really constipated and kept requesting more hydromorphone. My nurse yesterday was super cool. What got me skeptical is that a safety huddle revealed ...
