Just anxiety? Or something more?Monday, June 01, 2009
When your patient has subjective dyspnea with a slight increase in respiratory rate, make sure that you don’t dismiss these sympoms as simply being anxiety. 
Try for effectiveness in caring for your patients. Monday, May 25, 2009

Complications of SepsisMonday, May 11, 2009
Watch for complications of sepsis. They include septic shock and multi-organ dysfunction. If you do, you will catch them early and be able to provide prompt treatment to avoid complications.
Assess for dehydrationSunday, May 03, 2009
An increase in BUN and an increase in serum sodium indicate dehydration. Look for other signs, like dry mucus membranes and tenting of the skin to validate your assessment.
Acknowledge ComplicationsMonday, April 27, 2009
The best way to avoid complications is to acknowledge that they exist and assess for early signs of trouble. We can all get lulled into a sense of security by seeing lots of patients who have the usual or desired recovery and sometimes we forget that some of our patients are going to have complications.
Assessment must be done by the nurseMonday, April 20, 2009
Assessment must be done by the nurse and cannot be delegated. Don't ask anyone else to check on the patient, they don't know where you started from or what a significant change would look like based on your original assessment.
