Thank you, Captain Obvious!

Today Nursing School Taught Me....

• "People have cognitive abilities to discern situation that put them in jeopardy or keep them in safety. This is referred to as judgment."

Not So Obvious, but Fun:

• "For surgical asepsis purposes, sinks have been designed to be controlled by foot pedals." Rock on!
• "Body temperature is usually at its lowest around 3am and highest between 5am-7am. [A study by Beaudry et al. (1996) suggests once-a-day fever screening of afebrile patients at 6pm. This would ease burdens on staff time and limit the disruption of sleeping patients during the night.]"
