Hello Everyone,
I have a resident that was admitted to the nursing unit on
2/12/04. Prior to coming into nursing she had a 3 day hospital stay.
When the MD from the hospital discharged the resident they discharged
her to our personal care department with the understanding that when a
bed became available in nursing that she would be transfered to that
bed. She was admitted with rectal ca and comfort measures. It is noted
that she occasionally has vaginal and rectal bleeding. Her vital signs
are stable, no s/s of dehydration noted. At first I placed her on med A
for 7 day observation period. she is having rectal pain and is
receiving tylenol #3 prn. Would you continue to skill her after the
first 7 day?
Thanks,
Billie Stewart, RNAC
