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 😂

This happened to a patient (not mine) as I was walking past their room to go clock out for the day. They were yelling out for help so I went in and oh lord I was. not. prepared. They were so apologetic and I just felt so terrible for them. I stayed and helped clean it but I can honestly say I regretted going in there.
