   The same reason people take lie detectors more than one time. One test would say you lied and the next test would say you didn't and maybe a 3rd test would prove inconclusive. Sorry. Couldn't think of a better analogy.

   How many times do they have to shove something up your nose in order to know if you have it or not (COVID19)? I'm refering to the people who test positive one day and negative the next.

   Crushing Oral Medications...New Regulation

   GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to ltcnurse4u's topic in Geriatric

   Pudding and applesauce or ice cream are not necessarily used to 'hide' meds. They help make the meds more pallatable.

   Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

   And the hospital should evacuate too so we don't find the patients in the news waist deep in water.

   Does anyone here take their own bp manually?

   GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Nursing

   to rephrase: if you had to monitor your bp at home what would you use?

   I've tried this but found it very awkward. I normally use OMRON electronic bp monitor.

   Best Mispronunciation?

   At work some residents enjoy a play with words (cimanon, simenet,etc...). You got to lighten up sometimes. S NILE EVERYONE!

    Possible alleged neglect complaint... I hate snfs

    GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to idreamofnursing17's topic in Geriatric

    I am not sure if "I'm on break" was the best response. "I'm presently off the clock" sounds better and add that you'll find another nurse on the floor to assist.

    Narcotic counts

    GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Geriatric

    Often times discrepancies without med errors happen because because people are not counting the number of doses in one card. For example we get a card of 30 doses but they're half pills so often times the narc paper will say 15 pills (whole)received or sometimes pharmacy will lsend 2 boxes of fentanyl with 5 patches in each but on each box the pharmacy label will say 10patches. It can be really confusing and maddening at times especially for new people.

    Leg wraps delegation

    GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric

    "Of course, you would be responsible if the task was not carried out properl" Of course, you are. But would you write a cna up if she does not do it right and the resident's legs turn purple?

    Leg wraps delegation

    GLORIAmunchkin72 posted a topic in Geriatric

    Are you comfortable delegating leg wrapping to your cnas? Who is responsible if it's not done correctly?

    Bending and Breaking the Rules in Nursing

    GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric

    LTC or not, rules or not, it's residents' rights! As long as you explain why they shouldn't have certain foods and document, they can eat what they want.
