So, this past week I’ve learned quite a bit at work. I’ve really been impressed with how wise some of our doctors are.
Some Words of Wisdom that they have offered:
1. If a patient is having loose stools, you should hold their bowel meds
2. A patient with a skin tear on their arm should try not to bump their arm as this could lead to reopening of the wound
3. A patient with a broken hip should avoid falling on that hip to prevent further injury
4. Antihypertensives should be held for low blood pressures
5. Patients at risk for aspiration/choking should eat slowly, eat small bites and be supervised during meals
The intelligence and thought that went into each of these orders is incredible. So insightful are these recommendations.
Who else has any Words of Wisdom to share from wise providers?

Ideally there should be parameters as Metoprolol also effects the HR.
