How Do You Get Across To Nursing Student That Math Is So Important To Know?

Math errors in nursing result in medication errors, as this is generally the only area in wich you use more than the most basic math (calculating dosages, medications based on body-mass-indexes, etc). Look up some of the legal implications of medication errors… prison sentences dues to negligence. Regardless of anything the doctor prescribed or the pharmacy provided, giving the WRONG med or the WRONG dosage lays solely on the shoulders of the nurse who administered it. You really need to know how to calculate and convert different measurement systems as well as figure out IV flow rates, etc. Also very important for monitoring intake and output….

Joke About A Male Patient And A Student Nurse Please Read This!!!!!!!!?

male patient is lying in bed in the
hospital, wearing a oxygen mask
over his mouth and nose. A young, student nurse appears to give him a
partial sponge bath. “Nurse”, he mumbles, from behind the mask.
“Are my
testicles black?”Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, “I don’t know,
Sir. I’m only here to wash your upper body and feet.”He struggles to ask
again, “Nurse, please check. Are my testicles black?”Concerned that
he
may elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worry about his
testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back thecovers. She
raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles in the
other. Then, she takes a close look and says, There’s nothing wrong with
them, Sir!”The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very
slowly,” Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but, listen very, very
closely……A r e – m y – t e s t – r e s u l t s – b a c k?
