Translation: "How much friggin' Valium do you have to give orally in mililiters?"
.... you have to see the label to solve. :P But yeah. It's 2mL, peeps.
A bit of an aggravating day today. I still don't know what I got on my exam. I do know that I missed at least 3 b/c the teach emailed us the questions that were most missed. I missed them all. ^ ^;;;;
It thundered a lot making it really hard to concentrate. I don't like thunder anywhere exept at home in my bed. There it's okay. But I'm in friggin' trailer/portable for classes! O_ o
I learned how to put in a feeding tube through your nose [nasogastric tube]. It hurts to put it in, folks. Fair warning. We did it on a manican [sp?]. I learned that this same tube can also be attached to a pump to pump the stomach... in case we OD on caffeine pills. O_ x
Learned to give enemas... that's basically a tube in your bum, using gravity to push water up in you to break down... stuff... if it's like concrete hard [and it CAN get like concrete!!!! O. o]. So ya gotta eat your fiber, homies...
Also learned to remove, change, and clean around a stoma. What is a stoma? It's an opening in your abdominal cavity in case your intestines aren't working correctly or if you have urinary problems. It's like this little puckered, shiny, soft protrusion that IS your intestine. There is a pouch there to collect the... stuff. It can get dirty... plus since there is a hole there now... You can't hold in gas... Sooooooo, pt's have to watch what they eat and drink. My Nana has one. It's right at the end of her small intestine, so it's... extra messy. :( You usually get this if a part of your intestine stops working or there is LOTS of damage [temp or permanent].
Hope I didn't ruin anyone's breakfast. T.T We had to do this before lunch! T.T
Ordered Diazepam [Valium] 2mg PO. How many mL are given?
