*This entire article does not make sense. By this definition no one on a medical ward would have a trach task marked. By this definition, a pt that gets a trach while in the ICU would not get the task marked when they are transferred to medicine. Trach task, in my opinion, should be marked if a pt has a trach no matter when they got the trach or where. (It is a nursing workload issue). Also, instead of the terms acute and chronic, it should be temporary or permanent for the options. Medicine collectors please let me know how you deal with this task.--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 10:01, 2013 May 8 (EDT) | *This entire article does not make sense.
