After becoming quite frustrated with the lack of information being provided I contacted patient services to speak to an ombusman. After explaining the situation, the nurse manager for mom's floor got involved. I met with her and her nurse Colleen to discuss just what is going on. I explained my frustration that no one seemed to be accepting responsibility and the admitting doctor wasn't very clear about what we were going to do next. I learned that PT/OT has been ordered for tomorrow and discharge is planned for Wednesday. I also learned that no blood thinners are ordered, she's to resume taking baby aspirin. Efforts will be made to get her up this evening, at least to sit in a chair. She's looking forward to eating something, hasn't eaten since last night, but says she's okay, not hungry, feeling fine and can't complain about a thing.
I think it's the Versed.
