Dear RN,
Stop writing โpatient stable.โ
That phrase is too vague for nursing documentation. Chart the assessment findings that show the patient is stable,not just the conclusion.
Vague:
Patient stable.
Stronger documentation:
Patient is awake, alert, and oriented ร4. Vital signs: BP 128/74 mmHg, HR 78 bpm, RR 16/min, SpOโ 97% on room air, temperature 36.8ยฐC. Respirations even and unlabored, with no use of accessory muscles. Patient denies chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or discomfort. No grimacing, guarding, diaphoresis, or restlessness observed. Call bell placed within reach on the patientโs right side. Patient demonstrated the ability to use the call bell and was instructed to call for assistance before getting out of bed.
Plan of care continues.
Remember: Donโt chart only your impression. Document what you see, hear, and measure,and what the patient reports.โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Cheers ๐ฅ
Choose your company wisely.
Because slowly, youโll become like them.
This is how you stay firm upon your Deen.
Donโt ever say, โI wonโt be affected.โ
Because you will be.
No one is immune.
Can cancer really progress rapidly?
A few weeks ago, we were seeing videos of Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, looking well and attending Ojude Oba.
Then came the news that he was battling stage 4 cancer.
Now, a lot of people are asking the same question: How?!
Tomorrow is Monday.
Fast if you are able to, if not earn reward by reminding others.
Remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers (Q51:55).
Baarakallahu Feekum.
If Allah๏ทป gives me and you time today, He๏ทป is giving us another opportunity. Grasp it. Hold onto it. Don't waste it. We don't know if it will come back again. Change. And help each other to change.
