Lab Activities Week 4


Ms Dixon has developed an abscess at the episiotomy site.  As the RN assigned to Ms Dixon you are required to:

  • Administer IV antibiotics via the IMED as ordered
  • Conduct a set of observations on your partner 
  • Attend to nursing documentation
Half way through the IV antibiotic Ms Dixon removes her IV cannula and refuses to have further IV antiobiotics as she states it is poision.  As a group you will discuss Ms Dixon's reaction to the IV medication and what is the appropriate action of an RN in this situation?  You are also required to attend to an Patient Incident Form.
