Daily routine:
- Vitals BID at 0800 and 1200 (or
PRN per doctors orders).
- Load syringes for IVTT's
- Pass Medication at 0800, 1000,
1200, and 1400 (or PRN per doctors orders).
- Tube feeding at 1000 and 1300 (or
PRN per doctors orders).
- Paperwork
Today there were two brownouts that
lasted a total of about 2-3 hours. The patient who is in a persistent
vegetative state is attached to a ventilator so as soon as the power
went out me and one of the nurses had to run to the room and hook
them up to a bag valve mask so the care taker in there could continue
with manual respiration. Brownouts don't affect the ward as much as
the ER because there are no computers here in the ward – all the
paperwork is done by hand.
Anyway, other than the brownouts, just
steps 1-5 today.
