    BecomingNursey replied to newuser321's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with PP. If the patient is able to get up to the commode, she should. BUT as far as tips go....I don't really have any for getting patient on the bedpan but I learned that putting baby powder...

  25. Change in status

    BecomingNursey replied to ClinicalCareCoord's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    The problem there is the COPD. You don't want to crank the patients O2 up and mess them up even worse. The other thought is, CHF, SOB, no wheezes probably means fluid overload. So the only way to...
