True as a surgeon it’s not difficult for you. However as an orthopedic nurse it’s my job to keep the patients pain under control and keep those surgical site up with a cryocuff surrounding the surgical sight to minimize swelling. It’s also important to keep that patient moving and walking. So when I asked for pain meds because the order is only oxycodone 5 mg Q4 hrs, please don’t let the resident ignore my calls.
