Smoking outside

Nurses Safety

Published

My facility allows residents supervised smoking outside. We do not have temperature parameters. Staff are complaining it is too cold to have to accompany residents outside in the extreme cold. Does anyone have a policy specifying extreme weather conditions where smoke breaks are not allowed?

No effing way. I don't have time for it, and it is not helpful to the patient.

Doc can write a Nicotine patch.
