Hola Laura, gracias por la entrega de turno. Entiendo que el Sr. Ruiz se mareó a las 05:30 al ir al baño y no se cayó, y que a las 06:00 tenía TA 98/60. ¿Me puedes confirmar si el mareo ocurrió antes o después del analgésico? También, ¿a qué hora es la próxima dosis y cuál es el límite de tensión para avisar al médico responsable? Yo vigilaré y registraré los signos vitales en la hoja. Gracias.
Hi Laura, thanks for the shift handover. I understand that Mr. Ruiz felt dizzy at 05:30 when going to the bathroom and didn’t fall, and that at 06:00 his BP was 98/60. Can you confirm whether the dizziness happened before or after the analgesic? Also, what time is the next dose and what is the blood pressure threshold for informing the responsible doctor? I will monitor and record the vital signs on the chart. Thanks.
