Resident Quiet Times
Gentle reminder that the residents are only to be called for emergent things during handover 1600-1730
Always ensure you are working with Resource or Charge prior to calling residents.
Two reasons: Keeps the leaders (Charge and resource) on the unit in the know, and ensures the calls to residents are necessary.

RESTOCK PATIENTS
·
Should never be used
for controlled meds.
·
Why?
o
Legal documentation
for controlled substances are not met when they are taken out this way, as
opposed to the temp patient which I can then merge with the intended patient’s
profile.
· If staff do not to stop using them for controlled meds, pharmacy will need to remove the option to use a restock patient completely.
Hospital Acquired Infections
We have had a few respiratory HAIs in the last couple of weeks.
Ensure you are documenting visitors that are symptomatic so IPC doesn't attribute it to us.
Take note on if a service goes into rooms without appropriate PPE in the chart so we can start capturing these types of behaviors.
Keep up with your hand hygiene and PPE :)
Have a great weekend!
