CORRECTIONS:
01:15 – When reading the monograph, I should have stated that the medication can be given by a student nurse.
07:42 and 07:56 – I should have stated that my blunt fill will be going into the sharps
08:00 – I should have gently rotated the syringe after putting the medication in to make sure that medication is dispersed throughout the syringe.
08:19 – Just to clarify, my patients name is Eally Errol NOT Eally Egon.
08:47 – When I was listing the supplies that I would be bringing to the patients bedside, I should have stated that swabs would be included.
10:30 – This is the time when I should have given my patient education on the medication NOT at 12:05.
11:47 – When setting the CIVA pump down to the plunger, I should have stated the infusion time was at 39 min. therefore the CIVA pump was at the right setting.
12:00 - Instead of stating "to flush" should have said "patient maybe getting IV bolus med through the closest port."
