When entering orders, please remember....

That It's a pommel cushion, not pummel cushion. A pommel is the part of a saddle that prevents a cowboy from sliding forward, while pummel means to beat something repeatedly, usually with ones fists. I'm not beating a chair cushion, no matter how mad I am at it. :laugh:

Please enter an order for a MAT to the floor to prevent injury, not a MATT to the floor. My friend Matt is not going to lay next to the resident's bed and catch them if they fall. :roflmao:

It's STRAIGHT cath, not STR8 cath. It's a medical record, not a Grinder profile :cool:

Anyone else see things in orders or charting that makes you LOL?

    And when you're de-escalating a bad situation, you are defusing it---not diffusing it (spreading it around). That one drives me up the wall.

    It's not a UA CNS. We are not collecting a urine sample from a Clinical Nurse Specialist.

    We don't use pick lines around here, either.

    1. It's myocardial infarction, not myocardial infraction.

    2. It's hematoma, not 'blood blister.'

    3. The resident had a CABG three days ago, not a cabbage.

    CNS is culture "n" sensitivity......learned that in school, or at least the hospital where we did clinical.
