Fundamentals & Safety (30 Facts)
- ABCs first
- Maslow priority
- RN assesses
- UAP can do ADLs
- Airborne = TB, measles, varicella
- Droplet = flu, meningitis
- Contact = MRSA, C. diff
- Infiltration = cool, swollen
- Phlebitis = warm, red
- Blood runs with NS only
- First 15 minutes of transfusion are critical
