I'm old enough to have taught many parent NOT to put babies on their backs to sleep. Makes me queasy just thinking about that now, because we have enough hard evidence that the change was beneficial, but it was a struggle to make that change too.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237756183010257014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13203859.post-1165315459183929742006-12-05T05:44:00.000-05:002006-12-05T05:44:00.000-05:00Interestingly this has been a point of discussion ...Interestingly this has been a point of discussion recently in my workplace. Nurses tend to be rather draconian, not allowing patients anything much for hours before a procedure. One patient was brought in far too early the other day, and it was discovered that our hospital protocol states a patient can drink up to 2 hours before a meal, so we gave them jelly and a drink. They felt better, but we felt nervous. Somehow that 6 hour guidelines seems so much more safe! What if the list was started early or the first case cancelled - then they were sunk!! But I'll try and be nicer to patients from now on and let them drink.cecilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944264862462890029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13203859.post-1164424133125920632006-11-24T22:08:00.000-05:002006-11-24T22:08:00.000-05:00it's all realtive.

Yellow is doubtless a better choice than red, orange, or purple, since all those have red dye in them. Blood isn't quite the same color, but no need offering even the potential for confusion. <BR/><BR/>Clark,<BR/> Thanks!
