I did not have chance to take care of a child but clinical week was very interesting. First day I took care of a patient first day p/s- R thyroidectomy.Incision care was primary goal.I used H2O2 and vaseline and also I explained to her how to do it and what to watch for ( S/S of infection etc.). Nutritional teaching was effective because client did not know that she is at risk for hypocalcemia but she is lactose intolerant which makes everything more complicated.She was D/C home at that day.
Second day I was taking care of a patient with drainage tubes from her right lower lobe. She is breast cancer survivor-left breast. I gave her Lovenox SQ and couple of PO meds.I had to give her an anti-infective IVPB but to start IV was impossible because her veins were just rolling.I gave her bath with help of Keisha and Jessica. Thanks so much both of you.
