For the Aldrete Post Anesthesia Discharge score, page 314 notes that there are 10 items assessed with a possible score of 20. However, table 18-1 on page 315 only lists 5 areas of assessment with a possible score of 10. This was very confusing for me.

Reviewed Central Venous line dressing change protocol for the infusion center in which I work. When performing this procedure, it is critical that you as the nurse identify the patient with two identifiers, explain the procedure to the patient and make sure that they understand and are in agreement with the procedure. You must wash your hands, put on sterile gloves and a mask as it is a sterile procedure. This ensures an understanding and agreement to the procedure and safety for the patient by preventing an infection and insuring a good outcome. For insertion of a Peripheral Intravenous Cath, it is vital to identify the patient with two identifiers, review your order for insertion and for the medication you will be giving. Verify whether consent is needed for the specific mediation. The nurse should review the medication with the patient and verify their understanding and agreement to treatment. To perform the IV insertion the nurse should wash hands, put on gloves and cleanse the skin in order to prevent infection and provide a good outcome to the procedure.
