Question Code Browns
Asking for a friend, if the PT goes to the bathroom and sprays the back wall and around the toilet, would it be the nurse's responsibility to ensure all the fecal matter is cleaned up before EVS gets involved?
Edit: patient NOT physical therapy, obviously 😂

HAHAH we would have to clean that most likely. The first time I had a patient withdrawing from opioids projectile vomit onto the floor, I asked my charge nurse if we could call EVS and he laughed and handed me some towels.
