The inclusion guidelines for abstraction lists "does not want" as acceptable. Had the provider not included the patients response than I would agree that this would be an outlier. Per provider documentation the patient does not want the 30ml/kg.

Can anyone provide a rationale as to why this documentation doesn't suffice? My providers prefer taking a more positive approach that is more inclusive of the patient, not the negative tone of 'patient refuses.' Any advice is greatly appreciated as well. The following was documented by one of my MDs - "Patient meets criteria for 30ml/kg bolus, there is concern for fluid overload and cardiogenic shock. The plan was discussed with patient and patient's daughter who agreed to modified plan of care to include gentle hydration and vasopressors, not a 30ml/kg bolus."

We found the following contributed to the contaminated specimen: 1. Cultures were being drawn from the IV site which caused them to often be contaminated. (Site cleansed with Chloraprep thoroughly before anything else was set up allowing for the proper drying time between cleansing and sticking) 2. Nurses would draw both sets from the same site (in serviced on 2 sets = 2 sites unless extremely hard stick then only 1 set was obtained) 3. When doing blood cultures, the bottles were often uncapped and left sitting at the bedside while finishing setting up to drawn them. This left them exposed in the room (corrected by when uncapped an alcohol prep was placed over the cap until ready to place the blood) Every month on the BULLETIN BOARD in our breakroom, were the names of all nurses along with their contamination percentage, if we had X amount of contaminates we had to do an in service with 15 of our Co-workers reviewing the proper way to draw a blood culture.
