She is having some changes in Klonopin with behavior and GI upset- this is most probably from the "bug" that is going on in the facility. Anyhow, in my way of thinking I am planning on continuing to skill her until she becomes stable. Am I correct in my thinking? > /---------------------------------------------------------- > The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the > American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators > "Committed to the Assessment Professional" > Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
