I know I've been excited for Christmas and had the blog all decked out, but Christmas is now on a week and half hiatus. Thanksgiving is next week, and I am looking forward to it for sure!!!! Christmas will be back after Thanksgiving is over.
Translation to my previous post of "test your nursing knowledge"
The LOL in the ER had the following s/s: SOB, \/ CO, EJ of 15%, O2 of 85% on RA, and chest pain. The MD ordered a EKG, MONA tx, a CXR and recommended the pt for a CABG and a LVAD in the OR.
The little old lady in the emergency room had the following signs and symptoms: shortness of breath, decreased cardiac output, ejection fraction of 15%, Oxygen saturation of 85% on room air, and chest pain. The doctor ordered an electrocardiogram, morphine, oxygen, nitroglycerin, aspirin treatment, a chest x-ray and recommended the patient for a coronary artery bypass graft and a left ventricular assistive device in the operating room.
I am grateful for abbreviations, otherwise our charting would be 300 miles long.
