Reminders

• We cannot secure O2 tanks to IV poles with tape. There are several IV poles with holders for O2 floating around the unit. Come to Melissa if you have questions about this.
  
• Don't forget to chart your pt's BMs. 'Nuff said about that...
• If you need to administer a medication that requires rotation of sites, please document the site the med was given.
  
• Check the alarm limits on your pt's tele monitor. This can be dangerous if not set properly. For example, a pt was in SR, but went into afib and the alarm never sounded when the HR was 165. It was soon discovered that someone on a previous shift had changed the HR alarm limit to 180!
