Notifying the registered nurse (RN) about a hypoglycemic patient is crucial for timely intervention and patient safety. The RN can assess the severity of the hypoglycemia, implement appropriate treatment, and monitor the patient's response. Additionally, the RN can coordinate further care and education to prevent future episodes, ensuring comprehensive management of the patient's condition. Prompt notification helps prevent potential complications associated with low blood sugar levels.

When are you pronounced dead?
That depends greatly on the circumstances and location of death. In my state, if the patient is hospitalized, then two RN's (or a doctor) must come in together and both listen for a heartbeat for one full minute. If no heartbeat or breathing occurs, they call the time of death and notify the attending physician.

Is it a conflict of interest to treat the same patient if you are both a PT and RN?
I'm unclear about your question. If you mean that two professionals, one being a PT and one being an RN, need to see the same patient, no there would not be a conflict of interest since PTs and RNs have completely different roles. If one professional has a dual degree as an RN and as a PT, generally the professional picks one of the two roles; generally, the RN status would "win" over the PT status. If you are asking if there is a conflict if a patient is also a professional, no there is no conflict of interest if an RN treats a physician, RN, PT, or other professional.. or conversely, if a PT treats a patient who also has a professional degree. The roles are completely different.

Is it legal for the RN caring for the patient to go to a patient's home and connect their wound vac if she is skilled to do it after discharge when the patient is not comfortable doing it?
Whether it is legal for an RN to go to a patient's home to connect a wound vac depends on state regulations and the policies of the healthcare facility. Generally, RNs can provide care in a patient's home if they are licensed and have the appropriate training. However, they must ensure that such actions comply with local laws, their scope of practice, and the terms of any discharge plan. It's advisable for the RN to consult with her employer and adhere to any necessary protocols before proceeding.
