HEALTH FORUM

thankyou for all your comments you can all stop bitching at each other now,
such passion is typical in a nurse, venkat you are obviously not a nurse so
what is your profession. when you are on the front line you have to do what
is best for the patient and also to follow best practice guidelines in the
essence of care manifesto documented by the DoH. which i have signed myself
up to study pressure sores. the reason i wrote to the newsgroup in the
first place was to establish causes of pressure sores and how to reduce the
contributary factors. i want to enter nurse training but backbiting and
lack of team work do not persuade me very much. we now as a ward assess
peoples continence and whether or not to add drawsheets, yes we use attends
up to a size nine fastening. catheters should only be used as a last resort
due to risk of infection because of it acting like a portal into the body.
thanks again for all comments.
