A patient with advanced dementia is no longer sure of what her name is. Yesterday she gave you the wrong name entirely. You need
to make sure that she is the proper patient to whom you are bringing a meal. Which is the best way to ensure that the patient is correctly identified?
Check the patient’s identification bracelet.
Say the patient’s name three times.
Ask the nurse you just passed in the hall who this patient is.
Look for her name on the greeting cards tacked to the bulletin board next to her chair.
True or false: The fact that this patient also has diabetes and requires a low-sodium diet is protected health information.
That can be taken many different ways maybe: they push themselves to hard and don’t know when to take a break or they cant settle down, sleep or, don’t know when to stop.
The defendant is the person or organization with which an action is being brought against. For example: a man rear-ends a woman in a car accident. The woman can file a lawsuit to recover (get) money from the man for her medical injuries and damage to her car. The woman is the plaintiff suing the man who is the defendant.
