TELLING A DR. YOU DISAGREE WITH THEM!

As nurses, we don't always agree with doctors. Nurses are HUGE patient advocates and it can be difficult when what you feel is right for the patient conflicts with the doctor's opinions.

A nurse pulled me aside in private years ago and described why I did not need a certain procedure and signs to look for in case I would. She saved me from possible surgical complications. It's been so many years now and glad I took her advice and left it alone. God bless all caring nurses. Wish I could remember who she was and thank her. May God bless her too.

I questioned a Dr today because he ordered an IM injection for a nausea med when the pt platelet level was only 16,000? He changed the order to a different medication route as the pt was a huge bleeding risk. :)

"Aye bruh, you sure want to give this hypotensive patient that 4mg of morphine?"

Good topic, sometimes a physician is clueless lol just don't come off as rude to them about it. It is always nice to have connections later when you want to move up like in management. :)

I have had disagreements in care with a dr as a RT. I refused to give a treatment because it was contraindicated and would be putting the pt at higher risk of complications. Luckily I had a boss who backed me up as well as other RT's that did the same. Documentation was provided to the dr on when this treatment would be contraindicated.

Something else I'd like to add is that even if you disagree, and you can explain clearly why, and they tell you to still do it, it doesn't mean that you should carry it out. You could always get a second opinion from your fellow nurses or even escalate to your nursing supervisor in order to get their take on it. Just charting that you brought it up to the doctor won't save you in court, especially if you did something that put that patients life at risk.

I am a prenursing student and I am lost in your topic today

[@britb2714]

In this situation, would you document that you questioned the order? If something does go wrong and you are questioned and brought to court, would it be in your best interest to cover yourself by showing proof in your documentation?

[@aaronmccray4942]

great video. in an upcoming video I would love to hear your take on the proper wording to use when charting about an order that you question or disagree with. thanks Ashley!!
