Hello to all,
I have a resident that has an eye infection. Eyes are red,
itchy, and watery. Md had ordered eye ointment on 02/03/2004. Eye
continue to be red and irritated-md ordered for an opthalmic consult.
his VSS. He is receiving O2 at 2l but it is continuous. We are
checking pulse ox but it has been consisted above 90%. His wt is
stable. He was placed on synthroid on 02/11/2004 d/t his TSH level
being 19.56H. Md did not order f/u labs-I have the nurses checking with
MD to see if he wants any f/u labs. Would you continue to skill this
resident?
