OASIS Alert
Correction
Published on Sun Jun 26, 2011
The quiz, M1030: Test Your Knowledge About Therapies at Home, which ran in Vol. 12, No. 6 contained an error. Question 2 should have read as follows: You have PRN nutrition orders to give your patient a can of Ensure via their PEG if they eat less than 50 percent of their meals. The patient meets the requirements to receive this therapy and you administer it at the time of assessment. Which response to M1030 should you list? And the correct answer should have been "3 -- Enteral nutrition."
