I recently witnessed a conflict between a nurse and a patient care technician (PCT). The PCT who was assigned the nurse’s patient took the patient’s vital signs (VS) and the spirometry pulse oxygen (SPO2) saturation registered 81%. The PCT did not report the abnormal SPO2 to the nurse. When the nurse saw the low SP02 reading, she confronted the PCT in a demeaning tone, as perceived by the PCT. She asked the PCT why he did not report the low SP02 to her at the time that he obtained the reading.

I notify the MD and the nurse practitioner immediately if I find abnormal findings or values. I ensure to chart the education and the correction in response of the abnormal findings.

RN can ask the CNA to take the patient’s vital signs and document, but cannot ask to assess the patient for her high blood pressure. Communication is another important point of delegation. If the CNA notice that patient’s blood pressure is high and fail to communicate to the RN, the result could be detrimental for the patient. Another example is that RN told the CNA to check a patient’s blood pressure but did not explain why or when she should check the blood pressure. The RN need to give 9 AM blood pressure medicine and waiting for the CNA to let her know the blood pressure.
High blood pressure rarely shows symptoms physically or mentally in people. The ad also explains that many people know their numbers of their blood pressure, but choose not to follow HBP plans or report their numbers. To quote the ad, “While most people know their blood pressure numbers, many don’t follow their HBP plan because they feel fine and don’t notice any symptoms.
