Granny. Call. The. Doctor. Talk. To. The. Nurse.Howdys all, Just a couple drops of blood . Hardly anything today.
C.Y.A. is the second rule of nursing. The first is "if it's wet, sticky and not yours don't touch it without gloves on!"Granny. Call. The. Doctor. Talk. To. The. Nurse.
Sweet lady you give me the peedoodles.
Okay, it works like this. It's called C.Y.A cover your a**. If you call the nurse and report the incident to her and ask her if the doctor should check it, it becomes their problem and not yours. You have called and reported it. That way when you see the doc and he asks you if you've had any bleeding or drainage from your incision you can report yes, but I called and reported it to the nurse.
It's good that the bleeding has reduced but please report the incident......just incase.
Rule one where I worked in the nursing/rehab facility was the C.Y.A. Rule followed by 'If in doubt, ship them out'. If we even vaguely suspected somebody was having a change in status, physically or mentally they were off to the hospital.C.Y.A. is the second rule of nursing. The first is "if it's wet, sticky and not yours don't touch it without gloves on!"
Doctor can't do anything about a problem if he doesn't know about it and it will give Granny peace of mind to know the bleeding is not a problem.
