that was one of the lines that struck my mind in the recent mcnap seminar. the speaker was talking about the ratio of nurses versus patients in our country. and come to think of it, tama ang speaker. madaming nurses pero kulang. just yesterday, when i was at the hospital taking good care of my mama, i remembered the tag line when i saw some irregularities the nurses had during her shift. nakakairita. kulang na mga ang mga nurses, underrated pa ang iba. chillness....
on giving medication
nurse: mommy, eto na po yung diuretics ninyo.... (ha? ano yun? please use lay man's term)
on vital signs taking
respiratory rate, not taken. pulse rate, 15 secs lang ang kinuha.
the nurse placed the bp cuff along the antecubital space (in short, sa may line- likod ng elbow)
nurse: ay, mataas ang bp nyo mommy. uulitin ko na lang po mamaya.
on bp taking
me: ah nurse, kakakain lang nya ng lunch. magb-bp ka na ba? as in now lang sya natapos eh.
nurse: oho, kukunin ko na....
after awhile....
nurse:mataas po bp nya. mamaya na lang ulet
on medications part 2:
nurse: mommy, eto po ang antacid mo
(sarap sabanutan ha...)
on input and output:
nurse: mommy, nakailang ihi ka na simula 6am?
mama: 3
nurse: ilang baso yun?
(haler, malalaman ba naman ni mama yun eh sa bowl sya umiihi???? sya kaya ilang baso ang ihi nya sa shift nya???)
on congestive heart failure:
nurse: meron po syang excess fluid sa katawan. ang nangyayari po, kapag ihihiga sya ng straight, nalulunod po sya sa tubig kaya bigla po syang babangon.
(ah ok....)
madami pa to. kaya lang wag nang ilagay lahat. baka wala ng pumunta sa hospital eh. yun lang =D
