Tell when does a patient need to be given glucose?
Usually, a diabetic will know if their blood sugar has dropped too low and will try to communicate it to you one way or another. Always have them check their blood sugar. Generally, the rule is: If the BG (Blood glucose) is below 75 then the person is considered to be "low"- in hypoglycemia.However, a diabetic may feel the symptoms of hypoglycemia yet not be "low". I can say from experience, I thought I was REALLY low one time, I checked, and ended up being like mid 70's- which is not too awfully bad. So, it is always important to check before taking action.If the patient is just acting weird, or doesn't seem ok, or doesn't respond like they usually do, just check to make sure everything is under control. Not everyone experiences the same symptoms during hypoglycemia, so it is important to make sure you know what each patient experiences.
What are the benefits of telemetry in health care for the elderly?
Telemetry in healthcare for the elderly refers to cardiac monitoring; it serves the same purpose as an ordinary heart monitor, with the difference being that the patient is fitted with a transmitter that sends the data to the area of the hospital where the monitoring occurs. One of the main advantages of monitoring a patient in this way is that it allows the person to get up and move around, at least within the device's transmitting range. In many cases, this is highly preferable to having a patient confined to a bed so that his heart's activity can be observed.
If a health insurance company sends the patient a check for services that a provider submitted can the patient cash the check?
The best way to handle this is to take the check to your doctors office along with the explanation of benefits and endorse the check to your doctor.

If you cash the check and keep the money and do not pay your bill, you might end up going to collections or being taken to court.
